    Is there a way to edit (and keep the settings) for searching in Vista. I know I can change the displayed columns, but I cannot see how to save and retain that format.

    If I search, the results vary depending on where I am searching

    Location resuts shown

    My Computer Name, Date Modified, Type & Folder

    C: Name, Date Modified, Type & Path

    My Docs Name, Date Modified, Type, Folder, Authors & Tags

    Audio Name, Artists, Album, Folder, Genre & rating

    etc

    Apart from the fact that the Folder is the most useless search result ever invented (you cannot sort alphabetically by higher level folder, so it is useless, some of the other results are not what suits ME.

    I personally would always want date and type, but never author tag or genre.

    Is there a way to personalise this.

    Thanks

    Colin
