Problem: Open | Tools | Search only looks at entire C: drive.

In Word 2003 whenever I do a File | Open, and then Tools | Search, I set the
Search In to look in My Documents but it seems to search the entire C:
drive. Am I doing something wrong?

I wish Microsoft would return to the Word 2000 Search because the Word 2003
Search is awkward. For example, why doesn't it assume you want the search to
begin from the current directory? Where is the search subdirectories
checkbox?
 
This is just one person's preference, but I think that for searching it
is much more efficient to search in Windows rather than in Word. Open
the folder you're interested in, and press either F3 or Ctrl+F.
Alternatively, right click on the icon of the folder you're interested
in, and click Find.
