WHERE IS THE SEARCH FOLDER

I'm trying to open the SEARCH FOLDER as described in the Vista help section
(click here to open). I gather it is similar to the XP search that I liked
so much.

However, what I get is a Google search window.

Where is the Windows Search Folder?

Thank you.

Hi,

Press the Windows and F keys together, or type into the start search bar and click Search everywhere.

You might find these useful

Search Desktop Shortcut

Search Context Menu Item - Restore After Vista SP1

Hope it helps

It looks like I'm getting the Google Desktop search instead of the Advanced
Search Window (Vista). If I can't figure out how to change the default,
I'll flush the Google Desktop.

That's right. Microsoft were obliged to allow other search engine suppliers
to integrate their product into Vista in lieu of the standard Vista engine.

So STeve, in your (unbiased) opinion, which is better -- the Google search
box or the MSFT display?

Thanks.
