XP "Search" sucks, even when it does work.

Most have abandoned it for AgentRansack (free, fast, and full of fun).

Thanks very much, guys. Donald Anadell for Kellys Korner. I had that
link for ages, Donald & never even gave it a thought. Much obliged but
I ended up doing a "spot" reinstall with XP.
HeyBub, I have been using Copernic 2001 since it came out & you know
how you can get into a rut. I'm going to give AgentRansack a try.
Thanks for the name.
ATB both and thanks for a prompt reply to my post.
