I can't help but notice, at l least on this computer, that search can't find a file. Even when I test with a file I know exists, search finds nothing. Anyone else having this issue?

Search, be default, will only look in Indexed locations - so if you don't store the file in an area that's indexed, it won't be found with a normal search. For those of us who disable the Indexing service - this is a real PITA.

I figured it out. You have to tell it to Search Everywhere. Yeah, let's do that, since I don't know where it is. :huh:
