Searching Network Shares Using UNC Path Names

VX Search fully supports the UNC notation and allows one to search files in network shares by specifying one or more UNC locations in the file search dialog. In order to search files in one or more network shares, press the 'Add' button located on the right side of the list of search locations, enter a UNC network location and press the 'Ok' button.

In order to be able to search files in network shares, the user needs to have directory access permissions. In addition, in order to perform file management operations, such as file copy, move or delete, on search results found in network shares, the user needs to have file write permissions.
