Search UNC paths and mapped drives in Windows 7

Apparently Windows 7 x64 doesn't allow you to search mapped network drives the way that Windows Search would allow you to in XP. I was not able to do so by installing this hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2268596) and adding the following regkey EnableSearchingSlowLibrariesInStartMenu

Maybe i should just go back to XP?

After further review, I can search these location just not index them, kind of defeats the purpose.
