Is there a way to get Windows 7 to index shared network drives?

Is there a way to get Windows 7 to index shared network drives?

I was able to do this in Windows XP Search and using something like Copernicus.

"Go to the search settings. (Open the Control Panel, click ""Indexing Options"")

Open ""Advanced Options"" and choose ""Add UNC Location"""

"You need to download an add-on for Windows, but this is only for Windows 7 32-bit; it doesn't work with 64-bit.

This will enable the Add UNC Location option you seek."
