Sorry, but I have to disagree.
In a corporate environement, managing over 200 GB of archives from old
users/companies I often have to search for strings in ALL files in a branch
of the archives. WDS/Vista will not do this realiably.
Try searching inside pdf files for words that you know are there on a folder
that has not been indexed.
Same with VB.net files - it never finds anything.
