Re: System Restore: what is catalog.wci?

One of the reasons it doesn't work well is the continuous rebuilding of the
database. And also it cannot find files of type when doing a search through
its interface. Those together result in terrible searches in the Files and
Folders search. Microsoft has known about the issue but they persist in
trying to work the bugs out of it. I believe after a while they will give
up. But they are making a valiant attempt nonetheless.
