A picture speaks a thousand words, right? So I have uploaded a screenshot:

If I search from within an existing Windows Explorer window (using the
search box in the top-right), it works fine. If I search from the Start Menu,
it also displays the results in the Start Menu itself fine. Search in Outlook
also works.

BUT if I open the Start Menu to search and then click the "See all results"
link, I get 5 blank files displayed in the results area that I can't interact
with in any way. (what the above screenshot shows). If I open the Start Menu,
click on Search, and then search using the search box, I also get the same
error.

I've restored by Indexing Options to the default settings and rebuilt the
database, but I still get the same thing. What gives?
 
I have the same results and re-posted just a moment ago. I hope an "MVP" will
have something for us right away. This is a huge reason I use Vista in the
first place, so if it is broken, I'll be switching search programs ASAP.
