When I use the Search feature (Start > Search), I type a
file name and select "Search". It starts listing found
items then freezes or shuts off or crashes with a request
to send an error report. Others had this problem? What
fixes are there? Is there a better Search program?
 
Hi Clark,

XP Search has many issues. Some users have found disabling zip and cab
files during a search helps. To do so:

Before Search:
regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

After Search:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll

More information here under Why doesn't Search work?
