Your post isn't clear. Search engine means online searching with "Search engines" like
Google, Yahoo etc.. Yet you also say that you're searching for a file, which would lead
me to assume that you mean the Search for/Files or Folders on your system.

If you mean that you're having this problem searching for files or folders on your system:

Download and install Agent Ransack from:

http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download.aspx

It's a FREE file search utility that's faster, more user friendly, and less system
intensive than the Windows XP Search/For Files or Folders. You can type in part of a file
name, and click the Start Search button. You can also use other criteria for file
searches like text in the body of the file, date. etc.. Once you use Agent Ransack, you
won't want to
use the Windows XP native Search again.

If that's not what you mean, repost, and be more specific as to what you're trying to do,
what steps you use, and what problem results, and when.
