What’s That Noise? The Sound of Windows Desktop Search Sucking

Translate Into:

windows-desktop-searchIt could be that I’m just missing something but I’ve yet to ever actually find anything with Windows Desktop Search. Remember the days when you could just do a search for any file of a particular type by using a wildcard like the “ * “ in the search?

Can you not do that with Windows Desktop Search?

What’s the deal? As you can see from my search over there to the right I’m trying to find any file with the name ending in “.pst”.

I’m sure you can see how something like that would come in handy don’t you?

What other options do I have. I’m not really interested in downloading Google’s desktop search but I’ve got to do something here.

I’m downloading what I guess is an updated version in Windows Search 4.0. Anyone have any familiarity with this one? Will I still be hearing a sucking nose coming from my computer when I try to search for something?

What do you use for finding files on your Windows systems?

Let me know in the comments.
