Have you tried search in Windows 7? Did you find what you were looking for?
Best wishes, Hans
I normally find what I'm looking for with Windows 7 Search.

Have a look at this mind blowing tool http://www.voidtools.com/[^]
I'll second the suggestion to use Search Everything for all but content searches. I've never seen a slow-down in the indexing, and it's basically instantaneous filtering-type searching with wildcards. It handles filters that have thousands of results just fine. I've used it for several years with not a single issue. http://www.voidtools.com/download.php

A new version of the free UltraFileSearch has been released. This excellent search utility is a great replacement for those in shock at what Microsoft did to to search in Windows 7. Did I mention it's free? "This Utility does not use background indexing, does not waste system resources and does not use extra space on the disk."

HAns Did you know that McAfee SiteAdvisor has the www.ultrafilesearch.com site red flagged? I see that the tool is listed at CNet.com with a CNet editors rating of 4 out of 5 stars, something you don’t usually see with sites that are labeled as malicious. Note that McAfee SiteAdvisor doesn't have it as a warning but a full blown RED X. When you look at the details there’s nothing listed as to why the site was Red Flagged which is a first for me. there is always an account for why a site got flagged. There also are no comments from users saying the site is not bad which is another thing I normally see with sites wrongly labeled as bad by McAfee. Very weird. Could this tool and site be getting Red flagged because it has 'bucked' the system by going against Microsoft's own search tool? There's either a big mistake with SiteAdvisor flagging this or someone is pushing for the Red X flagging from behind the scenes.

I doubt it.

I think the big mistake is for anyone to use McAfee. I stopped using McAfee more than 5 years ago, and put it on the bloatware shelf. Do yourself a favor, use Comodo. People report apps all the time to McAfee. Sometimes it's an honest mistake, sometimes (like maybe a competitor of UltraFileSearch) it's not so honest. If you do a search for UltraFileSearch, you will find many freeware sites offering UltraFileSearch downloads. All these sites run anti-virus on all downloads. Let me know if you find anyone - or any site - that says UltraFileSearch is malware, except that McAfee crap.

@Hans I'm not saying its not safe only that McAfee is flagged it as unsafe and without listening why whcih to me is highly suspicious. I have emailed the contact email address at Ultra File Search to let them know about this so they can contact McAfee to correct it. This is important because SiteAdvisor is widely used and depending on the user (i.e. my wife ) they may not bother checking out the site for fear of it as being flagged by SiteAdvisor.

Keeping data organized eliminates many cases where you need to use search mechanisms. I think I haven't used one in more than a year, except search for start menu programs, which has worked fine for me until now. I'll remember this post if I need some good searching someday.

I actually used Everything for quite a while, before I switched to UltraFileSearch. My biggest complaint about Everything is that every time I went to do a search, Everything would start by indexing the HD first; and that stuff about "a few seconds" is bullcrap. On my big dev drives it would take 10 seconds and more. I also like the UI of UltraFileSearch better, but that is just subjective. Overall Everything seems like a fine product; you just have to be aware that it's index-based, and get some realistic timings.

There is an option "Unload database when inactive" on the General tab in the options. Clear that, and you shouldn't have the big delay. I have been using Everything for a while now and never looked back. I especially like that searches are instantaneous, filtering the results as fast as I can type (on a somewhat decent CPU).
