File search on ReadyNAS 6.9.1 doesn't allow searching home shares
The subject speaks for itself. I can search other shares, but not the users' "home shares." Is this a bug (or a feature)?

Hi jluros
This is not a bug, Home shares are actually created as a private folder for each user on the NAS and only the admin account will have access to it.
Even when you enable File Search feature Home folders is not available to be selected.

Hope this helps!
