Vista's SEARCH box automatically searches within files as well as file

If you can't find a text string within a file then you can use Advanced
Search to search in non-indexed locations.



You mean, it should automatically search within a file.
But many times over it won't find the file.
Look at my topic of how the Windows Search just doesn't work correctly.
And believe me I tried every available option there is, including your
option and all others.
I have a .txt file in an indexed location and vista just won't find that file.
Also rebuilding the index doesnt help, nothing helps.
And my win2000 computer finds this file over the network in seconds.

Somehow the windows search tool for vista doesn't work correct.

And Luc. if you are using Copernic at this moment. stick with it, as
Microsoft has no intention what so ever in correcting the bugs in the search
tool.
I just switched to Copernic as well.
But it is just crazy, to have to pay for a search tool, after paying all
that money for Vista.
The official statement I got from Microsoft, was to switch to a third party
search tool like google desktop.
And that is just completely insane.

Just my 2 cents
