Please try again to answer my question. Suppose I want to search for a
particular document occurring in a particular folder. In XP, we had the
option to browse for the folder we wanted to look in, and then we typed the
key word to be searched for, and bingo, it brought up any occurrence of that
key word in the title of any document within that particular folder. In the
new Vista search screen, I find no such option. Please help, it's driving me
crazy.
