| | Searching for specific target text I'm having trouble with Search and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Say I want to search for a file 1recycler.txt but I don't really know the full name but just know the part of it such as 'recycler'. Why can't it find everything with that word in it? Better yet, if it can, how do I do this search? I've tried Advanced Search with some different parameters but no luck. XP can find the file but not Vista. Thanks |

Thanks Try using the non-indexed search with "Find partial matches" checked. Set your settings to the same as the ones you see at this link. It is for a more thorough search and should help.
