Agreed, but there is a method to get a partially successful search:
1) Start->Search-> For Files or Folders
2) Empty window appears with "To begin, type in the search box"
3) Looking for VirtualPC .VHD (virtual Disc File), so type in .vhd and press Enter
4) Nothing happens
5) Click the "Up one level" button
6) Desktop appears in the window, search field now says "Search Desktop". Also list of drives and network locations appears on the left side of the window
7) Click on "Local Disc (C:)" in list of drives

Re-Input .vhd into the search field, as it has forgotten what you were searching for
9) Partial success .vhd files are displayed, along with any filename containing the letters vhd e.g ."x86_vhdmp.inf.etc"
10) give up
This works on Win7 Enterprise, fully updated. Not sure about other versions
