| | Try this: Locate32 Web Site - Home. Its a port of a linux app. You have to run "updatedb" first in order to build up the database. |

| | You could always download Windows Desktop Search and see if that has better capabilities than the default Windows 7 search applet. |

| | AFAIK Windows Desktop search 4.0 IS the Windows 7 search, the downloadable version is for adding to Vista or XP to bring them up to date. The Desktop search 4.0 installer will not install as it is already there |
