Vista - Column headings in "Search "

Column headings in "Search "

Sometimes a Search will produce results with column headings "name", "date
taken", "size" and "folder". Sometimes it will produce other headings as well
or instead. And sometimes it will produce results that only give one column
heading... "name".
What is going on and how can I get it to display only the column headings of
"name", "date", "size" and "folder"?

Cancel this....I just found it.
I search for hours with no joy, and found how a minute after I posted this
question.

But the "how" I found is wrong.
The question now (which still needs answering) is how do I select the column
headings to dislpay oin the search results window?

Try that again, without the spelling mistake:-

I FOUND IT... HURRAH.
I decided to do the nice thing and pass on my "discovery":-
In the "Search" window, AFTER the search has been done for the first time,
click "View", track down to "choose details" (the column headings) and select
the ones you want, and the order you want them (including the desired width
of each of the columns).
Click "ok" and voila.
