search on windows xp not working

Can anyone help me please? The search facility on my windows xp doesn't seem
to be working properly. If I try and search my system i get the "Search is
complete. There are no results to display." message in seconds so I do not
think that it is searching the system properly at all. Any suggestions?

Your question doesn't apply to the Windows Update component of Windows.
Please post your question in the appropriate newsgroup; you'll be more
likely to get a useful response that way.

One possible newsgroup to post to would be
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
