More on Window search
Microsoft tried to improve search in Win7, and they succeeded to some
degree, but they don't want you to know.
If you search on :Search" in Win7 help, you don't find much until you
get to "Advanced Search" (Aside:Why doesn't search know I have an
internet connection?). If you luck out and search Tech Net, you'll
eventually get here:

Advanced Query Syntax

Then, to find music files for example:
kind:music artist:krauss will return all the music files with Alison
Krauss, although you may have to click "More results" at the bottom of
the screen. Once you have all the Alison Krauss files, of course, you
don't need to search for any music, ever again.

There are many more operators and filters.
Why isn't this in the Help files. Don't ask me, ask MS.
