With documents, emails, songs, photos, video files and more all stored in different places on your computer, it’s no wonder that finding the exact file you want can be time-consuming and bit of a headache. Not in Windows 7, though, because the search function has been overhauled, so it’s both easier to use and faster.

Sounds like a lot of search results, right? Not when you can narrow your search instantly using date, file type and so on. There are lots of reasons to love the Windows 7 search feature – you’ll be amazed at how much easier it makes your computing.
