In windows XP it was this doggy friendly, waving its tail, and always find whatever you asked for. That was very usefull for the user, by posting just a word from the title of music file or video, you just found it.In windows 7 the search sucks! Does anybody knows any ADDITIONAL for 7, to do this job?

As soon as I do a reinstall, I disable the search facility. Like you, I hate it. I have just had the attached program pointed out to me. I still 1. Cannot figure out how it works so fast and 2. Why, assuming it is 100%, the Microsoft version is so clumsy!

For a test, create a stupid file, call it crap.dir or anything, and then search with this little gem.

It is standalone, so you can plant it anywhere and make a shortcut to it.
