Windows 7 Search

In Windows 7, you can find more things in more places—and do it faster.

Start typing into the Start menu search box, and you'll instantly see a list of relevant documents, pictures, music, and e-mail on your PC. Results are now grouped by category and contain highlighted keywords and text snippets to make them easier to scan.

Few people store all their files in one place these days. So Windows 7 is also designed to search external hard drives, networked PCs, and libraries. Overwhelmed by your search results? You can instantly narrow them by date, file type, and other useful categories.

You can have some control over searches in Win7 by going to Indexing Options in Win7's Control Panel.

Searches are related to indexing. More details on indexing controls are at:
