Search is pure crap

I create files, and hours later this sorry excuse for a search STILL doesn't
find 'em. IF it ever does, it's just because I've gone to the folder I saved
'em in and saw them sitting there.

And if I name two files with about the same name, like Picture 1.png and
Picture 1.jpg, it'll only find one of those.

To put it mildly, Search isn't worth a bucket of warm spit. Useless.
 
Sorry bud, but you are having a problem and that is not normal.

Even if your system is not finished indexing for the first time, any new
files you create are instantly added.

So, you can create a new file and 1 second later, have it found in a search
result. Unless:

1. You created the file in a folder that is not included in the search
parameters. For example a system folder.
2. Your search index service is off or not functioning.

There are plenty of "broken search index" threads here.
 
That's good to know. Thanks.

You are right Start>Search could not find Windows Photo Gallery and still
cannot.

I have it now pinned to the start menu and it still cannot find it I have
run it a few times and never gets onto the list.

I have tried all permutation of the title.

At least one could do a search with XP, Vista misses out hence I could not
find the program iinitially.

When are we going to see an upgrade as I see this as a serious issue if it
cannot find one of its own programs what are Microsoft doing.
