Hi
If you click search from the start button right click menu it opens a search panel on the right side of the screen.
It has 3 categories, Everywhere, Files and Settings.
If I type in the word "Lucy" (I picked Lucy because it's my animated character and there are a lot of files like Lucy Title frame 23, etc.) with Everywhere selected and it finds 2 files.
If I type it in with Files selected it finds about 20 files.
I checked and it does find some files on my D:\ drive as well as on my C:\ drive.
But I ran Agent Ransack and it found 483 files on my D:\ drive and another 117 on my E:\ drive as well as 19 files on my C:\ drive.
So what it the function of the Search Panel?
Why does it find some files but not all files?
It doesn't seem to be to serve as a search application in the normal meaning (you can't tell it where to search) or is it just not working as it should.
I'm dutifully relaying all this to Microsoft, but I don't really get the object of this panel.
