Navigate to the folder that contains the documents you want to search, press
Ctrl+O (or click Office button - Open), navigate to the folder, then type
the name you're looking for into the Search box in the top right. To search
multiple folders, navigate to a folder that contains all of the folders you
want to search (this will depend on your search options, which you can
access from Windows Explorer, as shown below).
In Vista, Office 2007 applications use a slightly-pared-down version of
Windows Explorer for their file dialog boxes. Hence, you get Vista's search
functionality. For advanced search functionality, use Windows Explorer,
instead, and click Organize - Folder and Search Options. Or, after beginning
a search in Windows Explorer, click the Advanced Search link, which will
appear at the bottom of the search results listing.
