   But the first version of Vista, had the "Try harder" option   
   for search, where it would do a brute force run instead   
   (like it was Agent Ransack). Later service packs may have   
   removed that.   
      
   1st search attempt [uses Federated Search and SearchIndexer output]   
   2nd search attempt [Try Harder == brute force scan for your item]   
      
   I liked that, because the second attempt could find stuff.
