The other Harry here.

I don't have a floopy drive on my Dell botebook, but I have a thumb drive. 
To search this drive I pressed control+F. This broght up the search dialogue 
box.  This search does begin in the selected drive,  but it will search 
every other place on your computer.  The files I searched for were at the 
top of the list.  Hope this helps.
