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.
