What the heck is Search Companion?

[Father Guido]

and how can I install it again to regain Search capability.

When launching Search > Files or Folders I get the following error.

A file that is required to run Search Companion cannot be found. You may
need to run setup.

I have tried running setup but it didn't fix the problem. I have also
run the scannow option to repair files without luck either.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

PS I'm running XP Home on a P4 2.4 GHz, w/512 Mb RAM and lots of free
disk space.

Tried that, no luck. Also tried

again no luck.
I've run scannow, etc.

I can search everything except 'Files and Folders'. When I do I get a
yellow exclamation mark with the following text...

"A file that is required to run Search Companion cannot be found. You
may need to run setup."

I don't have a clue what could have happened, everything else seems to
be working fine.

Thanks,

Norm

When you get frustrated, an alternative...

Many folks say it works better than XP search

Thanks, it is getting frustrating. I'll keep this one in mind, when I
finally lose mine. 8^)

Thanks,
