Search companion - no wildcards for folders

[Bill]

I've just upgraded from Windows 95 to XP (!) - trying to
use the Search tool - cannot find a way to use wildcards
in the folder name ("Look in:") - get an error message -
is this a feature?

Hi Bill, you are right that there is no way to search with wildcards in the folder name drop down - you have to pick from the
list or browse to where you want to look. I can add this as a feature request for the team. Also if you can tell me what you're
trying to do, I may be able to give you another way to get what you want.

Thanks.
