You have multi-posted your question to at least 5 newsgroups. If you need to
post your questions in multiple groups, cross-post instead. This will
create a single post that is visible in all of the groups.

This sort of thing tends to annoy people, and that's not the way to get your
questions answered.

What do you want to search? Documents in the document library, code in
source control, or work items?

If it's source code then I don't believe there is anything built in to
directly search the contents of files on the server. If you don't have too
much source code then you're better off performing a get latest on $/ and
searching the filesystem.

Don't know if this works, give it a try:

tfs not having a search feature sorto frenders it useless. there is no real
point to configuration management without a search feature.

But you can search on your machine in your workspace, which offloads a lot
of work from the server onto the client. Yes, it would be nice to quickly
search from within the TFS source control viewer, but if you already have
the latest version version in your workspace then why not search there?
