    Default failure to find in Search

    My XP Pro Search function frequently fails to find
    documents by a content word. I have saved test files in
    small folders and search in those folder by word and
    got "no results to display" immediately after saving.

    Nothing in Knowledge Base seems to address this. Anybody
    know a solution? Thanks...

    Default Re: failure to find in Search

    The search feature in XP is terrible.
    I recommend Agent Ransack, a free search utility available from

    a direct link to the download:
