It is all about learning what terms to use. Use the language of the computer
and it seems to get really good. I'm finding that I use Search more and more
for things I know what I'm looking for. No quotes or any other symbol or
your computer will look for those.
For me, it is much easier to start typing Music, Excel, Word, Notepad, ...
than go hunting around in the programs or other places or even repeated
Highlighted letters. On my computer, for example, Notepad can be found with
NO or NOT always. Just don't get frustrated and keep trying to learn the
language.

I'd like to chime in on this thread concerning the search box issue. I just
need some clearification on using this thang. I know I guess it's geared to
try to figure out what it thinks you want to search for, but most of the
time it's results are all wrong. How do you tell it your in control of the
search item and not the computer to type in something to search and then do
I just press enter there or maybe should I tab to an ok button? Are there
tricks to mastering this search box field to get what you want? Maybe put it
in quotes or something?

You are correct, I have recently added a printer. But typing the whole word
network still brings nothing close except managing network passwords.
Nothing close to what I want.

Can you get what you seek by typing Network? It sounds like you have added
the printer recently and it has something to do with net in the name. You
may have to type more or be more specific about what you seek.

Okay, didn't know how to word this question. When I go to the top of my
start menu in windows 7, there is a search box. Up until about 3 weeks ago
when I typed the word "net" it would bring up my network, so I could manage
the devices, see what was connected, and let me make any changes. Now when
I type this word, all it brings up is something to do with my all in one
printer. Even when I go all the way down, it doesn't bring up the network,
it says "see more results" Is there any way to reset this without
restoring to factory defaults?
