Not according to this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932989

"You cannot find files when you search a Windows Vista-based computer
even though the files exist on the computer

[...]

Cause 3: The file has properties that prevent it from being indexed

[...]

The Index this file for faster searching check box is not selected."

Indeed, as soon as that box is checked the file is found by Vista Search.

Or maybe there is something further I do not understand?

Thanks,
