I've got this Compaq Armada portable with win2000 and sp1 installed. Since a while, when I click search files/folders, enter what I want to search for, no results are displayed, nothing happens, also no error message, the magnifying glass moves for a second and nothing.
Anyone?

Make sure it's searching in the local hard drives and also check the folder options under tools and make sure to show hidden files. Hope this helps

Also, make sure the Indexing Service is active. To find out if it is, go to a Search Window, and you should see Indexing Service highlighted in blue in the Advanced Search Options area.

Hope this helps.

Mike.
