Does anyone know how to perform a windows search on an ftp site? For example
in the directory below, I would like to look for 882c without scrolling
through the whole page. It seem like windows search would do it?? Normally
Ctl-F brings up the search to search an Iexplorer page. In this case, it
brings up windows search.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub2/printers/software/
 
Click edit>find on this page.

If you can't do this then IE>options>advance and make sure "Enable folder
view for FTP sites" is set.

Thanks. Good answer!

Actually 'enable folder view' needs to be unchecked for the Ctl-F search to
work.
