Trouble With Search application inside vista

Hello people,

i'm currently testing the search function of Windows Vista !

but it appear strange or buggy ? :-(

i explain:

i go on computer then on c:\ and there i tape in the Search Field

autoexec.bat
you can see that here -> http://www.numtek.com/te/vista_se_a.jpg

in this first step there something allready strange the autoexec.bat seem
hidden, but when we go on him properties is NOT !!

So i launch the Search and he find NOTHING !!!

i have do the same search but with XP on that same drive (networked-shared)
and XP find it ;-)

So what happen ?

Thx a lot people.....

There are a few troubles with the Search function - try the public beta (see
the windows.vista.general newsgroup) and see if this fixes anything.

Maybe thats because the Root drive is not added to the Index. Click Start >
Control Panel > Indexing Options > Modify > check the root drive and click
OK.

The root of my drive isn't set for indexing either, just the default users
and their subdirectories, but a search via the search box on the root of my
C drive does find for example 'bootsect.bak' when I search for 'boot'.

Explorer uses a combination of the search index and regular file enumeration
searches in this case.

I suspect certain system files are being excluded on purpose.
