When you search anything using the start menu search in Windows Vista, it takes a lot of time to search. So, here is a small tweak which will speed up the search function. Just follow the below tutorial to do it:-

1. Type “regedit” in run or start menu search box.

2. Go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced.

3. Double-click on “Start_SearchFiles” on the right hand side.

4. Type “0” in the window that appears.

That’s it. Now restart your computer for changes to take place.

NOTE: You can also use a ready made registry script to do it.

    This trick works well in Windows 7 also.What it does is that it actually searches program files and folders and not the entire indexed location.This is used by many Windows Optimizing softwares.
