Turn on WinXP's indexing service - Start - Search - With Indexing - turn it
on, let it run. Should improve your searches dramatically.
WinXP has a lot of folders excluded from searches by default.
(Try to find an outlook .pst file on a default installation of XP. )
You can go into search options and set it up correctly.

I like the one these guys make - it's a bit clunky, but it's free, pretty
fast and it works.
