Windows Vista Features : Instant Search
Windows Vista has search in the Start Menu, search in Internet Explorer, a new Search window, and it even has an instant search box in every Explorer window. The reason this is useful is that the instant search box is context sensitive. Sure, you could search your entire hard drive via the Search option in the Start Menu.
But if you’re in a folder, and you know that what you’re looking for is in there somewhere, maybe in one of the subfolders, then the instant search box is the tool to use.
To search for a document or other file in the current folder or one of its subfolders, just click the search box and begin typing. Your results will begin appearing immediately. When the search results list is complete, you can also click a link titled Search for 'search query' in Index that will let you search the entire hard drive.
