Guest JJ Jones Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Hello out there, I am running Windows 2008 Server. Microsoft has apparently changed the simple SEARCH utility that hangs off of the START button in XP. In other words, in XP you click on START, then click on SEARCH, then FOR FILES OR FOLDERS. Simple as pie. Unfortunately, somebody has apparently come up with a "better idea" in Windows 2008 because SEARCH isn't there anymore, and I can't figure out where they put it. I can't find anything in the documentation. Does anybody know where Microsoft hid the SEARCH function? Please help, since it is driving me stark, raving, mad. Thanks,

Guest Sascha Jazbec Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Re: HOW TO SEARCH FOR FILES ON WINDOWS 2008 Because Server 2008 is simply Vista SP1 with Server technologies inside, the search function is located in a) the Start Menu Box "Start search" and in each single Explorer Window's upper right corner. One has to be blind to miss them. To narrow your search you can click the search pane to be visible inside Explorer, once you start the search. The startmenus "extra" search entry has been removed with SP1, it is only available on Vista build 6000 ( Server 08 is 6001 as VistaSP1 too ) .
