The more I play around with it the more useful I find it to be. It is waaay more useful than XP's search, which I found to be slightly better than useless. I Found 7's search a little frustrating at first when the searches returned in content view by default. I prefer details view where it is easier to sort and sift through the results. The other thing is I wish they would have made some of the advanced filters available via the search field in the GUI instead of having to remember what they are and type them in.
