Because of the anti-trust complaint they added a search protocal to launch the default search program and switched most of the search boxes to use it. They decided on this search item to just remove it instead of making it use the new search protocal. @Ed: Actully not quite.

I am quite frustrated at the fact that I cant find something I downloaded like 2 minutes ago because it is not yet indexed. In mac's spotlight you can type in the file name immediately after a download and it is lightning quick...i just wish vistas search box was as reliable Interesting…Have you/can you do a tutorial on how to optimize indexing for faster searches?

I did click the arrow to illustrate that we were searching through that folder. I’m not actually sure how to make it open to advanced, although I imagine there must be a way.

While you have a folder open, maybe a even faster way is just to type in your search keywords in the search field at the upper-right corner (if you don't need advanced options right away)? The question I have is, how did you get the search window to open with the advanced panel opened as shown in the picture above? Is there an option I can change to set this to default? When I open a search window the advanced panel is always closed. I have to click on the little arrow to bring it up.

I don't understand this... I might as well check if I have the Search option but I might try this out when I get to my computer. What is this?
