Get rid of Vista Search: Get Avafind!
Just why? Vista's search is deeply intergrated into the OS and works bloody well, why would you want to get rid of that and use a 5 year old 3rd party app

Vista Search is:
- slower
- uses much much more resources
- causes file transfers to be much slower
Avafind is perhaps an 'oldie' but it really is much faster than Vista Search. And it does not cause so much troubles (just search Google to find tons of them). Avafind just does what it wants you to: find an item fast.
Example? The latest Vista/Explorer search bug:
