Instantly search your PC
If you're like many people, you've come to depend on the power of searching the Internet. Now with Instant Search in Windows Vista, you can just as easily find virtually anything on your computer.
You can access Instant Search just about anywhere in Windows Vista—including the Start menu. To find a specific file, e-mail message, contact, event, application, or Internet Favorite, simply open the Start menu and begin typing in the Instant Search field.
Instantly find what you need.
You can type a file name, a keyword, or even text contained in a file, and quickly get organized results. Instant Search tailors results based on your current activity, whether it's searching for programs in the Control Panel, for music files in Windows Media Player, for an e-mail message in your e-mail program, or searching all your files and applications in the Start menu.
Search across your whole computer.
As you type, Windows Vista finds and displays matching items, whether they are applications, Internet Favorites, documents, media, contacts, calendar events, or e-mail messages.
