what gives here/
I used to be able to find it all, now about half comes up.
Is the search for for files different on XP?

A lot of posters complain about the XP search. And a lot of replies point
them to Agent Ransack which is free and apparently does a great job. Google
will find it for you.
 
In folder options--view have you set 'show hidden files and folders' and
not checked hide extensions and system files?
 
I am also having difficulty with the search feature, only
my problem is that it totally locks up my system when I
try to use it. Is there a fix for this?

Check Knowledge Base Article 309173. Method 2 seemed to
solve the problem for me.
