Ed Bott: If Windows 7 has a killer feature, its search. As I demonstrate in this weeks screencast, you can find search boxes throughout Windows 7on the Start menu, in Control Panel, and in Windows Explorer. The indexed search is fast and accurate, in my experience, and the indexing process itself is barely noticeable in terms of performance. The best change, though, is the addition of the Search Builder, which replaces the clunky search forms from earlier versions and allows you to filter a results set by date, type, size, or an attribute thats appropriate to a particular type of data such as music or photos.
