    Windows 7 Is there a way to modify Windows 7 to have a contextual right click file / folder search capability

    Is there a way to modify Windows 7 to have a contextual right click file / folder search capability like Windows XP has?? The search function in Windows 7 is neither quick nor easy.

    I have Win 7 RC installed and I have found out that the search does not work at all. When I write a file or folder name and press the search arrow NOTHING really happens.
