How do I search for an item in a file in a folder? In other words, like the
search mechanism in WinXP

There dosen't seem to be a method to fiind an item in a file in a folder of
files. Have I missed something?

Yes you have missed something. There is a little magnifying icon in a text
box in the upper left corner.

Type a fragment of a file name there and stand back. You should be
pleasantly surprised at the speed particularly if you have turned on
indexing.
