After some investigation with Pismo File Mount, could you try to add pfmMountFlagWorldOwned in pfm_layer.cpp at line 121 when mounting the folder? In BoxCryptor Classic (that uses encFS on top of EldoS' CBFS) in windows 7 only mounting the volume for all users enables windows search to see the mounted drive; maybe it can be the same with Pismo Mount on Windows 10?
Also I saw that mounting as a local drive with Pismo is deprecated (and broken in the documentation)... mounting as a network drive surely prevents Windows search to see the drive...
Your encFSMP version of encFS is the most complete port to Windows with may options, just the not indexable drive is a stopper for me...

PS. are there any instructions for compiling your project with Visual Studio? I am interested in that. Thanks!

Where did you see that mounting as local drive is deprecated? It's a new feature as I can see, since one or two releases of PFM.
I don't use Windows Search, so I did not pay attention to it. But if it's not too much work I will try to amend it.
Could you please send an email to hiestandroman@gmail.com? I will try to make a test version for you with this flag sometime next week, if I find the time.
Writing compilation instructions is on my todo-list :-)
Hi, thanks for your reply. Deprecation of local mount from Pismo Documentation:

Also WorldOwned is shown there to try for indexing.
I am sending you and email for a test version, I really hope you can make windows search work :)

I would also appreciate it if the mounted drive would be indexable under windows 10. Up until now I've been using Boxcrytor classic which will not be supported by Windows 10. Therefore I'm looking for an alternative.
The way PFM mounts drives currently does not allow Windows Search to index the drive. It seemed to work until Windows 7, but not with newer versions.
Maybe in the future PFM will mount the drives differently, and it may be possible again to index the drive again. However, there is no specified time or version when this might be implemented.
With the newest version of EncFSMP, the version 181 of PFM was released which might solve the problem with Windows Search.
Please retest!
I immediately ran to test it since that would be such a good news to replace Boxcryptor eith encfsmp for me...but it seems as it does not work yet in windows 10...
