I find that Windows search is actually more powerful in practice. Just open the Start Menu and type something. For example, typing "mouse" finds all Start Menu items, Control Panel items, folders and files that contain the string "mouse." It can be used to find specific files on disk, as well. Wild cards, such as "*" can be used. For example "net*.exe" finds all exe files that start with the word "net".
