The slow way is to go into start»Search. It will take several minutes, if not longer, to find the files you are looking for. And, of course, it will not show you extracts like Minalyzer Desktop Search will.
Windows XP also supports the notion of indexing. If you can figure out how to use it, you might be able to perform fast searches.
The problem is that Windows XP is not very friendly with indexing. Windows XP starts indexing at unexpected intervals, and the process of indexing slows your computer to a crawl.
In fact, many Windows experts recommend that you turn off Windows XP indexing. See the Blog for instructions on how to do this.
In contrast, Minalyzer Desktop Search's indexing is friendlier and uses only the processing power available that you are not using.
And, Minalyzer Desktop Search is a lot easier to use.
