Oh I agree... it was easier in XP and people got use to doing searches
a certain way. What's missing in Vista is a user friendly front end to
make it easy to customize using boolean operators. Again, what you see
in Advance Search smacks of it getting rushed out the door unfinished.

So again, in concept Search is improved... if you're willing to learn
how to use it. however as usual, Microsoft dropped the ball because of
bad implementation just like they did with UAC.

That's my big gripe about Microsoft. I'll give them praise for trying,
but they never seem to do things right.

Ringnut you're just a old nut. Why do you even bother posting like a
nut? Old man, no one is reading your junk, but you, and a couple of
other old fools like you. You old Geritol *clowns* can chase until the
cows come home.

What we have here is two expert's experts, two guru's gurus, and two
Moses' Moses kissing each other.

It has nothing to do with MS in general or the *search*, because you're
both just two old experts at being *clowns* that have *sought* each
other out.

And look, you two have found each other, and you both will kiss each
other's behind from this point forward, manly like.
