Hi,
I was limited to safe mode when I was having the problem. Once I got into
normal mode I found the search worked a lot better. I also found you can
still right click My Computer as before and get windows explorer as before.

I am totally lost trying to figure this new Windows Explorer out. I am by no

that it is reporting drives (partitions) incorrectly. The search function is
totally non functional in my install (5384), can only run in Safe Mode. Just
MHO,

Count me in as well. I've been toiling with simple text string search for a
few days and cannot get the search facility to work. It finds files who's
finename matches the search string but not any files where the string is
contained within them. I've tried indexed, non-indexed, search in file and
all the other search options I could find, to no avail.

Live Search may have some advantages for some folks but for a
straight-forward and ease of use capability, give me the old XP Dead Search
capability.

fwiw, the files I'm searching are most CSS file, i.e., *.css which contain
only text.
