Windows Expolorer - Search - Exclamation Point only

[Terry Powes]

I'm only getting a window called Search Companion with an
Exclamation Point in it (with OK button) for any search
attempted in Windows Explorer. Any idea what the problem
is or what to do to fix it?

Does it work correctly in Classic Mode? Try this article:
