Also, I have found that Explorer's search functionality doesn't work worth a
damn on any Windows OS late than Win2k.

I have seen these types of problems (Explorer search not finding files) on
everything WinXP and later (well, I haven't tried Windows 7 yet).  I think
it has to do with some change to the indexing...it seems to happen more
often with new files, but I haven't dug deep enough to actually prove this.
