I am with you Leanna - I have followed all of Vista's search demos & it
certainly is not able to do any kind of "phrase" searching at all even with
"commas" - whereas XP just did it with no complication at all - & although it
looks very pretty, I am 100% frustrated with Vista - Windows Calendar did not
work at all & the hotfix patch that was emailed to me - crashed the operating
system on restart & I had to get a new key fr Microsoft to restart it which
took me hours. BTW, at least the Calendar works now!
