I have found that when I am browsing in a folder in Windows Explorer, looking for a file, if I use the search box in the top right to search for words that occur in the file name, it does not find files that I know are in that folder. &nbsp;If I enter the same search term in the Start Menu search box, it finds them. &nbsp;If anybody knows the solution to that then it would be helpful.<br />
<br />
However, I believe that Windows Search cannot index network drives, so I could also do with a piece of freeware that would also provide good file searching functionality, including being able to search mapped network drives.<br />
<br />
Even though you can't index network drives in Windows 7, I presume that you ought to be able to search them - is that right?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
