when u go under search files and folders,how do u get it to not recognize
words.Like I looked up quarter horse once now everytime I go to search if I
type in a q it automatically comes up quarter horse,I typed up draft horses
and now if I type d it automatically brings up draft horses,it only does that
if I have searched on a subject that begins with the same letter that is the
first letter to the word I am getting ready to search.How do I get it to not
do this u know to where I can type in q and it wont show quarter horse.Please
email me at bagley50@hotmail.com and let me know asap.Thanks so much.

You want to turn Auto Complete off. That would be in the Preferences of the
Windows Search applet. That's in the bar on the left of the screen.
