If you regularly execute the same search, for example you are searching for Word
documents that include the phrase "daily collection" ou don't need to retype these
words again and again when ever you are searching. Here you can save your searching words for future search. If you do advanced searches just like size of file name or date, and execute the same search over and over.

Follow the steps
** Click on Start button>> Search>>
** Select "All files and folders" options

Now select the search criteria and perform the search to find any phrase, because you have to run a search before you can save it.

** From the File Menu click on "Save search" and choose where you want to save the search.

Normally, Window XP saves the search in your "My Documents" folder, But you can
save it in any folder. Actually, if you plan to save a lot of searches; you might want to create a separate folder for them.

When you want to run the search again, find the file and double click on it. When
you save a search, Windows XP creates a file named after named after the main
criteria of your search. For example, if you search for all .doc files that contain the
phrase "daily collection" and which have been modified in the past month, windows names the file "Files including text command for disaster recovery.find." You can rename the file, but make sure, always ends in the .find extension, for example, "daily collection.find".
