My windowsXP's search => weird results! (only text search seems to work, not filename)

[ship]

My WindowXP almost completely has given up the ability to search.
Help!

It seems to ignore whatever I put into "All or part of the file
name:".
(e.g. "*.*" or "html" or "doc" ...} all yeild no results.

Strangely however if I enter something into the
"A word or phrase in the file:"
(e.g. "the", then I get lots of results, AND they are filtered by
whatever
I have put into the "All or part of the file name:" field

Any suggestions?
