I'm experiencing a strange behavior with a Server 2012 R2 machine.


Our client asked why searches on their network drives were so slow. So I suggested we turn on Search Indexing on the server for their share.


Now the drive has about 600,000 items, and it usually takes half a day to build up the index. Everything works great once it's built, but after about a week, it'll reset the Indexing service.
