Why is it that in file search in XP Pro the "browse"
button vanishes and all you can choose from is all of your
drives?

Why would you need the browse button?
If your browsing to a certain directory as opposed to trying to find a file
on your HDD then you already know where the file is so the browse button
would be unnecessary.

Previous versions of Windows had a browse button in the search tool. In XP,
"Browse" is a line item at the bottom of the "Look in:" list.
