Solid Edge Open Draft command is not working properly in a Solid Edge Data Management setup

In this scenario, in a Solid Edge Data Management setup, when a drawing is created for a part, the file saved and closed, subsequently, the 'Open Draft' command is not able to find the Drawing and reports "No drawing found".

This is to do with the Microsoft Windows Indexing service. If you experience this issue, try updating the settings as described below to see if this improves the system. 

A. In a default Windows Operating System Installation the Windows Search Service Property Startup type is set to "Automatic (Delayed Start)".
Solid Edge Data Management, whether in a Server/Client environment or on a local machine, recommends to set the Windows Search Service to "Automatic " so that the service will be forced to start automatically when you start your computer. This will ensure that your searches are faster and more efficient.

To set the Windows Indexing Search Setting to Automatic, follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "services.msc" in the Run dialog box and press Enter to open the Services window.
3. Scroll down and find the "Windows Search" service.
4. Right-click on "Windows Search" and select "Properties".
5. In the "Properties" window, select the "General" tab.
6. Under "Startup type", select "Automatic".
7. Click on the "Apply" button and then click on "OK" to save the changes.
8. Restart your computer to ensure that the changes take effect.  Once you have completed these steps, the Windows Indexing Search Setting will be set to Automatic. 

B. To improve the performance of the Windows Indexing and Search it may helpful to disable the Windows Indexing Backoff.
Background: By default Windows Search only indexes while the system is idle. Disabling Backoff will index even while the system is in use.
Note: This can have negative influence on the performance of other Services and Programs.

The Windows indexer Backoff setting can be switched two ways:

Via Computers Group Policy

To enable disabling Windows indexer Backoff by Local Group Policy, follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "gpedit.msc" in the Run dialog box and press Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
3. In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following directory: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search.

4. In the Search folder, double-click on the "Disable indexer backoff" policy.

5. In the policy window, select the "Enabled" option.

6. Click on the "Apply" button and then click on "OK" to save the changes.
7. Close the Local Group Policy Editor.
Once you have completed these steps, the Windows indexer Backoff will be disabled on your system. 

Or by Registry Editor:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "regedit" in the Run dialog box and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search
4. Right-click on the Windows Search key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new value "DisableBackoff" and set its value to 1.
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
