Vista file search

How can I tell Vista Search to only search filenames and not look into
contents.

When one wants to search for a filename, it takes way longer because this
thing wants to search contents too and it is a waste of time...

Suggestions?

Try telling it to search file names only.

"Always search filenames only". Click OK until you're done.

Or install "Agent Ransack" and be done with Vista's convoluted search
tool. As a side benefit, you can shut of Indexing too.

I believe it's type in the search box
"file:then-whatever-filename-or-part-you-want-to-find" Check the 'help'.
