Strange that Search couldn't find it like it used to.

Windows' search has stunk for a while now. I use

Beware of junkware!

You kids!

Start : Run : control

When Control Panels appears, look for the Indexing Options
control panel.

Program the indexer so that it indexes more of C: .

There are still some parts of C: that won't show up in
a search, but you could probably cover off System32 without
too much work. System Volume Information is pretty difficult
to look inside.

Using an SSD, this is pretty fast as a search alternative.
Agent Ransack. Free.

( The commercial version is called File Locator Pro. )

It does not use an Index.

It searches the whole drive.

It has regex capability.

It can do content searches, and the content search is
multithreaded. If you have it scan a source tarball
you've unpacked, it will read multiple files at the
same time (N threads). If you have an SSD, and had
a 4C 8T processor, it can scan 8 files for text strings
at the same time.

Basically, it gives you almost the same capabilities
as the search in Windows XP.
