While folk could expend considerable time and effort to fix Windows Search I found that I get better results by using anything else.

In vista, I am looking a word in a document somewhere on my computer. When I type the word in the search field at the start bar, i would have expected the relevant file to pop up. Instead i get a "No items match your search" message. Ideas welcome..
