Searching Mapped Drives Windows Server 2012 R2
We have mapped a drive where we place a ton of scanned documents in a series of folders. The documents themselves are scanned and OCR'd, but we cannot search the mapped drive. The individual documents can be searched, but that's not much help. What is the most efficient way to index these documents?

As far as I know you install Desktop Experience on the server to enable indexing of the content which enables you to search it
As a test, on a single PC, I would add the mapped drive to the indexing list under; control panel | indexing options | modify
While doing so verify under Advanced | File types that pdf is checked/included
It will take a while to index all files, but you can check the progress on the root Indexing page. If this works, indexing can be configured using group policy to affect all users who need this capability.

This solution is only available to members.

You have to turn the indexing on, on the hosting server. The client indexing service will communicate with the server's index to do the searching. (Definitely requires both sides..)
