Workshop: Find files quickly with Windows Vista

Windows Vista’s search feature finds folders and files in a flash. Here’s how to use it

Although Windows XP has a search feature, it is a palaver to use. It’s a separate program for starters, with an annoying animated ‘helper’, and as these things go, it’s slow ­ very slow.

The new search feature in Windows Vista is altogether slicker. It’s built into the Start menu, begins to retrieve results as soon as you start typing, is able to extend any search to include the internet with a single mouse click and is also available from any folder, allowing disorganised PC users to find what they’re after quickly and easily, no matter how cluttered they’ve let their computers become.

This Workshop explores how to use the file search facility in Windows Vista.
