trouble using Windows Desktop Search - help

[alice]

I was prompted to down load the new Windows Desktop Search, and
thought it would be good idea.
Ooops.

Now I can't seem to search my PC the way I used to. I set the whole C
drive for indexing, and set it to but still, when I search on
Documents for *.*doc, and set the folder to my folder where, in
another folder window that I have open I can clearly see the doc files
I have, it can't find anything. No results.
Since this replaced the old search feature, I'm stuck with it unless-
a) is there a way to restore the old XP search function or
b) is there a way to get this one to work, meaning to actually search
and find files on my hard drive?

uninstall desktop search. The old search will come back.

Don't use *.*doc, instead try *.doc.
