Bit of an odd question

[Gobosan1]

Didn't know Microsoft was forcing even XP users to update... that's odd.
Though I can't say I'd be able to help with the problem, I can offer a suggestion.
Never noticed the search problem myself, but it might be helpful to simply change your search word.
If it's only for searching for modified files, you might try changing your word to 'mod#', where you can search for something that's been modified such number of times and save it with the appropriate number.

Yea, don't update anything, or you'll find yourself in BSOD heaven. Make certain windows updates is off. And don't bother with AVG either. AVG locked my system up so bad, I had to take out the harddrive, slave it into another pc, and wipe AVG from the system that way. Even without it, my machine was BSOD'ing twice a day. I talked to a very good local tech, and he said that was SOP for WinXP these days.

Anyway, I did find the answer from a MS board. I need to type in "filename:*-2" into the search box. Win10's a bit of a pain. I've turned most of the options off just to get it to a reasonably sane functioning.
