Default Search function

I have Windows Xp Pro - when I go to search, files and
folders, and type in a word, and hit search, nothing
happens(it tells me to follow the prompts to the left,
but that is what I did). IBM told me it is a windows
issue, but it is a new computer with all udpates done.
Any ideas?
