Is there a way to get Win 7 search to show what I ask i
In xp when I searched it listed what I asked it for. This is not so with Vista & now 7.
Example: I would use the ` Symbol, (lower case & the character to the left of 1) to mark my Favorites & in xp it brought up only the names with the ` in it like, Mike at the Beach` In Vista & now 7it brings up nothing.
Is there a way to get Win 7 search to show what I ask it for?

I still can’t figure out win 7’s search. I have better luck with Agent Ransack that I learned about when I was trying to figure out how to search in Vista.
I just did a search in my picture folder for Boat & Agent Ransack found 98 files & win 7 found 83. Win 7 didn’t find sailboat & a few others that didn’t have a space between the two words like FireBoat, Fire Boat. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ZT Affinity 7602Mi Desktop PC
