It may have asked you if you wanted to turn on "Search Index" to make the search faster. This tutorial will show you how to disable the Search Index so Vista will default to using the non-indexed search. Index - Enable or Disable Shawn |

You usually get that prompt when it asks you if you want to add a particular folder to indexing. Have a look in Control Panel > Indexing Options You normally then have to wait for indexing to complete to be able to find items in the newly added folder, which may have been the case in your situation. Post back ifthe problem still hasn't rectified itself. -- Jon |
