    Does anyone have any experience of downloading and using a Search engine for W7? The Search facility in W7 is very poor and I need to search my hard disc for a particular file. TIA.

    You can right click on the start button and bring up Windows Explorer. That has a search box on the top right, it works Ok for me, you can type in the name of the file on say the C: drive and it will search all subfolders to find it. You can use wild cards like *.jpg which will find all files with that jpeg extension. Sorry if you already knew that :thumb:
