Constant problems with Vista Search
Search is constantly giving inconsistant results. Whether searching from the search in the start menu or another window the same problems occur. Will not display results in some views. Almost always Details View won't show results and others may or may not. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. Is there a workaround for this problem? Steve W (in Aus)

Steve W (in Aus) Hi Steve, When the problem occurs in Explorer, try refreshing the view manually with View|Refresh from the menu bar. If that works, then you need to update your video driver. The view should refresh automatically after a search completes, but I had a similar refresh problem that was fixed by a driver update. Otherwise, post examples of search queries that fail or that produce inconsistent results. The syntax has changed and queries using the old syntax often don't work as expected. Doug M. in NJ
