Hi
I've been using Agent Ransack for many years and many versions of Windows.
It far outperforms the Windows search engine and it's easier to use.
I never even look at Windows search anymore.
Agent Ransack - Free File Searching Utility
Once installed it adds the Agent Ransack search function to the right click menu, so you can just select where you want to search and click on it.
You will be amazed at how much better it works.
It is a small program and you don't have to do any indexing, and it has no performance effects on your computer.
