XP Search doesn't let me search just a particular folder

[Guest]

Hi,

I've just moved from 2000 to XP Professional. In 2000, the Search dialog
allows me to browse and select any folder I want to limit the search to. In
XP, the dialog only gives me a choice of My Documents, My Pictures, My Music,
Desktop, or My Computer. Am I missing something? This is bad news if I
can't control the search.

Did you click the BROWSE item at the bottom of the search box LOOK IN
dialog. Click the black arrow to the right of the LOOK IN field, then
scroll down.

You might also consider testing this superior search tool...

Hi Barbara,

Right click the folder in question and select Search.
