Apart from cost,time constraints,lack of software/hardware support and lack of money you mean :D

Those are the same businesses that don't spend a dime on network security, too.

What's in there that anyone would possibly need to search for?

I go there all the time to delete internet temp files by hand before I run CCleaner. By hand goes faster.

Never under stood why %windir% is faster from a typing standpoint.

 

You don't save that many less characters than just typing c:\windows\system32

 

%windir%\system32

c:\windows\system32

Why? Internet Options is quicker, and searchable. Plus, there's a button to view files. It's easier to guide users here as well. No need to open the browser or Explorer.

I thought Windows search was so awesome you could just type in any folder on the computer and it would find it for you.

Not if the location is not indexed.

I know of no reason to be searching out temp Internet files. There's a reason most locations aren't indexed.

Computer repair/manual malware removal

%windir%\system32

c:\windows\system32

saves you 4 chars, if you don't include shift.  for when they decide to change the windows directory again, or when someone doesn't install windows in the default directory...or it adds a .001 to the end of the directory.

Even when trying to do a full system search, content.ie5 does not show up. 

 

I know, but still, the Windows 8 search is the end all ... it should be there :laugh:

So in that respect, at least for computer repair,  that search is not the end all.

For Joe user, my time, and my sanity, it is. It was exhausting hunting and pecking in Windows XP for stuff in 2004, and it's equally, if not more exhausting now. There's a reason I refuse to touch these systems. You want Windows XP? Great, then that's your world of hurt to deal with. It's not 2004 anymore.

 

I've turned a job down before from a company still running XP, and I'll do it again if I have to. It's just not worth it anymore. I want to grow my skills, not recall ones I used as a child.

It shows up just fine for me . . .

looks like an addon search to me or a vista search.  windows 7 and 8 no dice with the default search.

 

perhaps this:

Unless he might have show hidden files and system files turned on.

The latter is correct. The search is one from Windows Vista.

If that were the case then the icons of my results would be a higher contrast.

I have never seen those search options in windows 7 or 8...I recall something like that in windows vista.  vista had a better search than current oses.

Oh do forgive me for going off topic, sc302, but I don't get the chance to do this in public very often. Please look at the other glorious search options!

I can select multiple search locations, and even add new ones without having to type them in a search box; I can, however, decide to use a search box if I want to manually select a location. For folders that I have decided to search in, I can exclude subfolders. Options to sort or group my selected folders are available from the column headers.

One is even able to perform a query upon a query to return more relevant results and then save these results as a Virtual Folder. So I can further refine my results for that Secure Startup Virtual Folder shown above to display results only for BitLocker instead of NGSCB (as shown below). The results change from 14 items to 3 items.
