Simple file name search
Thsi started with Vista, but has continued in Windows 7.
999 times out of 1000 when I search, I search for a filename, often using only part of the filename.
In XP, provided you didn't install the Windows Search update, it was simple, and worked well. Even if you did install the search update, you could get back to the old search usinf the search companion.
Now, starting with Vista and now Windows 7 the searches take longer and display all sorts of unwanted files because it is searching contents too. I end up clciking to index everything and it is still slow.
At least Vista, after you've done one search, lets you go to advanced search and slect search filenames only. Of course, for that 1 in 1000, I had to do a search, then go to advanced and select to search contents too.
How can I get a simple, search filenames only?
BTW I do these search in computer, already at the desired file and folder, not in the search box from the start icon. That's a good way to get thousands of files selected.
