Re: Vista Search Doesn't Find Files Saved by Microsoft Paint
'Index this file for faster searching' is a legacy function for changing the
file attribute of the file. By default, the Indexing Service is not
installed. Fiddling with all that has no relation to the Windows Search
Service, which is the service you are using when you click on Search. After
having done a search, try clicking on the Search Tools button in the
Toolbar, to see if the options they provide has Search set up the way you
want it.
