Seach in Vista has been improved to the point where it is incomprehensible
and therefore unreliable. The user has no clue what folders vista will
search, why it will choose them and what it will search for. I have had
vista for a month and still cannot figure out how to search everywhere for
files named *xyz*.* that contain the string ABC

I suggest an XP style search option for Vista - A search that almost
everyone on the planet already knows how to use instead of forcing everyone
to struggle with a Vista style search that nobody will know how to use.

I realize that the webpage is confusing, but you should be aware that this
newsgroup has nothing to do with Vista - it's for Microsoft Access databases;
and also that nobody from Microsoft routinely views or responds to messages
here. We're all non-Microsoft volunteers answering questions here.

I sympathize, but you'll probably need to repost - as a question, rather than
a "suggestion to Microsoft" which will be ignored - in one of the Vista
discussion groups.
