Vista search isn't returning Excel files

[Guest]

I am using Advanced Search in Windows Vista to find recently created files,
so that I can copy them to other media. I have discovered that searching for
files after, say June 30, does not return Excel files, although it does
return .txt files and .html files. The location I am specifying is my Vista
user name, and the Spreadsheets subfolder is located within that user name
folder.

Thanks for any help.

Don't why yours isn't finding any (assuming that you have some that were
modified since then).
I can find some on my computer.

\Users should be on the indexing included locations... is yours?
Start - Control Panel - Indexing options

Do you have the search to show "All"? or "Document"?

Thanks. As far as I can tell, /Users is included, and .xls and similar files
are included in the index. I am searching for All.
