having to delete an old file, i searched it, located in few seconds, and
deleted it
due that i have several copies in ithers partitions, i searched the file
again, well was find and i press del to kill it, system says that this file
is unlocatable
well i suppose that the bug is located in the indexing file, the file was
deleted, but the index file still maintain the file's name and it is not
refreshed, thus you need to rebuild de index file wasting a lot of time
my question is whay the index file is not renewed while modifying user
files ?

The index is renewed just not in real time as your modifying files - for
performance reasons. Give it a while and it will index the changes.

I got soooo tired of Vista search NOT finding my files I enabled indexing of
almost all folders. Then checking the extensions that were indexed I
discovered that some common extensions were NOT indexed. ini and log are
two. So I enabled every extension that I recognized. Finally search is able
to locate the files that I need to find. Vista even warns you NOT to enable
indexing of folders like "program files" which to me is plain wrong.
