I right clicked on a folder in Explorer, and could not see any Find or
Search option. Where is it?

The "Search" context menu, and the Search link in the right-hand side of the Start menu are removed when you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1. See:

If you wish to restore the Start menu Search link, check this post for a registry edit.
