Thanks for all that
it only seems to crash after awhile searching for particular text in a file
as the other just searching a file which has characters in the filename
seems to work ok but I will take note on how you do it
cheers,
Jim

Jim,
Have you used the "original" file search method? I don't know what else to
call it, so that's how I'm referring to it.
In MS-Explorer (Windows+E to launch), make sure the drive or the folder
you're searching is in the folder pane and not in the treeview pane.
Alt+F and then e to bring up search.
This is a more accessible search dialog than the default one that launches
with Ctrl+F. Also when you exit the search with Alt+F4, you're still in the
MS-Explorer folder list, ready for more file activities.
Dave

Subject: alternative XP search
Heya folks,
Am having the odd crash using the standard XP search feature to search for
my files etc on my PC. Is there a freeware alternative search
program/utility that works well with Jaws and doesn't take huge processor
memory?
Maybe theres a cute little utility out there that just may do the same job
and even better:)
cheers,
Jim
