where is this everything program? also, can it search folders or different drives and folders within them? so if I had a flash drive and I opened a folder on it can it search just that specific folders and its sub folders?

If the file is actually named "notes.xls" then using "notes" (without quotes) in either a Windows search or using Everything should find it. In the case of a Windows search it will also find any files containing the text "notes" as well whereas Everything will just return files with "notes" somewhere in their names prior to the file extension. You say you went back and did "excel.xls" and there it was, but that simply cannot be if the file has "notes" as part of its name, unless the file excel.xls has the word "notes" contained within it and you're using Windows search, in which case it would be among the search results. Since Everything deals with file name as the primary search criteria it is generally far, far faster than Windows search because it does not try to examine file content. If, however, you add the content:<word or words you want in the file> function this will add content searching in addition to file name and it does slow things down for obvious reasons. Brian
