    Sorry if I describe the problem with the wrong terms, but I am from Germany and I don't know the right English terms used in Vista.
    Since I have Vista I am unable to search for documents when I write the "end" of the word. For example: I have many documents that are numbered, for example 08050220. If I write the beginning of the number "08050", i can find it without problems, but if I look for the last three numbers "220" Vista is unable to find it. Is there a way to make it work? Under XP I have never had this problem.

    Have you tried using *220 as your search query?
