I believe it should, but it always says "No items found" (translated from 
portuguese, may be slightly different in english) when I do a search in this 
specific folder I'm looking into.
I've tried using parts of file names (with and without wildcards), complete 
file names (with and without extension), you name it.
I guess there's something wrong with indexing here. But I don't really need 
desktop search, so I didn't bother trying to find out what's wrong with it. If 
possible, I'd rather disable desktop search and go for a simple file system 
search, like in the old days. Is it possible?

Thanks,
