    Search in Windows 7


    Is it possible to do a full search for a document through my entire computer system including both external drives?
    If so where do I start from.
    I tried by going to Computer from the Start menu then selecting the C: drive but was wondering if that done a full search of the other drives.

    Thanks

    Going from "computer" to "C" drive puts you in an explorer window. From there, you must select a drive to search, it won't automatically search every drive on your system. However, I do believe that searching from the start menu yields results from all connected drives, including external. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
