Want search/indexing program for Win7

I want an app that will index every file name (possibly excluding system folders), folder name, and the contents of every file (again, perhaps excluding system folders).  I want a simple interface for doing what, therefore, should be instantaneous searches.  I despise the stock search utility.  The Win XP version was a little better; at least the results were understandable.  Suggestions?  Items to avoid?

Joe Winograd: Top notch, detailed answer
Thanks for the compliment — much appreciated! Regards, Joe
Thank you all for contributions.  I think I'm going to try X1, on the basis of Joe Winograd's and NVIT's suggestions.  Also, not insignificantly, X1 offers a free, 14-day, no credit card needed trial.

John Hurst, thanks for your thoughts, but they don't answer my question.  What they say is, "Your question is wrong.  Here's a better question."

Thanks, again.
I'm having difficulty with the awarding-points interface.  I tried to split the total 3 : 2 : : John : NVIT.  Sorry if it didn't work.
LostInLG,

At your original question, pick the Request Attention. Then explain your reason. The question will be reopened. You can then award points again. Hope that helps.
