I recently saved a notepad entitled BC-Topics-09

Today I could not find where I saved it, and went to Search,
I searched both Documents and Files and Folders, . .
I used the search term topics, but it did not find it,
I later found it in one of my folders, . .
What did I not do right ?

The windows search function is kind of lame
I highly recommend this little application
I'd be lost without it Everything Search Engine

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
