is it possible to subtract words (terms) from the search tool in Windows XP?
for example: I want to search references to "info" in my computer but want
the results of the search NOT to show the term "msinfo" within them.
I know this option IS available in Internet search engines such as Google
(where you type "info -msinfo")

BTW - I don't always get the FULL path to the files in the search tool like
when the file is a link in the "Favorites" folder.
can this be configured as well?
 
did you find the answer to your question ?
It should involve using the Indexing Service
and the Query Language in a box labeled
A Word or Phrase in the File.

you are such a nice person! I'm sure there are many NG users like you with
so much patience and good will!
