Vista Index search not working

[prosportal]

Reguardless of what I search, even Program files EXE's or Start menu items, search NEVER finds anything I need. I've reindexed the default settings, Indexed the entire C drive, and also indexed only the program files/start menu files. WHAT'S THE FRIGGIN DEAL??

Are you searching using the search box on the Start menu?

Yes.

I tell you what....Windows search has always sucked.
Turn indexing off, because it does nothing, but hogging your computer resources.
Install 3rd party search.
I use SuperFinder: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Super-Finder.shtml, which installs itself under right click menu, works great, and is highly customizable.

but of course, if you want the windows startup search, that's up to you. I personally didn't find it that terrible though.
