No, I have not find any new information. It's strange that nobody knows a
resolution to the slow search in Vista!

>> Hello!
>> Why does Windows Vista x64 search so long, especially when the progress
>> in the bar is at the end and the ring is rolling (a replacement for the
>> sand glass)?
>> When a search is not "nearly instantaneous" it takes nearly forever.
>> That is, when you ask for an Advanced Search of Computer, the bar first
>> goes half-way across fairly quickly. Then it goes more slowly to about
>> 3/4 of the way, appearing to redraw the bar every second or so, then more
>> slowly still to 7/8, etc., getting closer to the end with each redraw -
>> but never quite reaching the end. I watch hopefully as it gets to the

>> there and report that it can't find what it's searching for. But it
>> doesn't. It keeps creeping further, past the vertical separator at the
>> end of the Address Bar, and then at a maddeningly slow pace across the
>> red "X" and... hours later, the green bar is still being redrawn and it
>> STILL hasn't got to the end.
>> Windows XP Pro on the same computer (but on another HDD) searches for the
>> same files (on all HDDs) five times faster.
>> Sincerely,
