vista no admite busquedas incompletas

Hola a todo/as,

el metodo de busca que usa windows vista no me esta valiendo de mucho,
parece que no hace busquedas parciales, sino que tiene que ser el
nombre exacto, por ejemplo, estaba buscando en un directorio el
programa "speedfan" y no me aparecia, sin embargo si escribo
"speedfan354" que es el nombre completo, si que me viene.

Al menos a mi no me funcionan las busquedas parciales, cosa que en xp
si lo hacen.

Hay alguna configuracion que tenga que cambiar para que me admita
busquedas de palabras incompletas?

gracias de antemano

Hola!

As this is an English newsgroup, for best results one should post and expect
replies in English. There are other newsgroups that are hosted in
non-English languages and can be used by anyone who is either uncomfortable
with or unable to post in English.

Sorry, I though it was the spanish one. I don´t have any problems to
talk in english, so here I go:

my problem is that when I do a search in vista, I don´t get the
expected results, let´s say I search for "speedfan", and doesn´t give
me any results, but if I search for "speedfan354", which is the exact
name. I get the file I want, so I guess it has to be the exact name of
the file.

windows xp, however accepts incomplete words too, so maybe I have to
change some settings to make searches normally, just as in xp?

Thank you and regards

Something unusual is happening here, as the default behavior is to do
partial matches. Can you take a look in the Search Options {either from
explorer or through the Folder Options Control Panel}? There's a setting
there called "Find Partial Matches" that maybe has got unset ...
