>Never use the search feature. Never did in prior versions either. I dont think under Vista that it was much of a resource hog but I simply do not use it. On a blue moon I may want to find a file but then the standard file search is sufficient.

My memory not being what it once was (less full :), I do search from time to time, but then I search through my dev directories only - I don't really think that indexing all the readmes, eulas and other files elsewhere on my disk would help at all. It'd just give me too many false positives, i.e. things that'd only clutter my search.

I've heard that the search under Vista is finally good - in previous Windowses it was only partially usable - but it's what you can do with the file once you find it. The Lister in Total Commander is my best friend. And TC uses its own search.
