I posted this question a couple weeks ago and got no adequate response,
so I'll try again in hopes someone knows the fix.
I have 2 Vista machines and neither one shows any results when I click
on the search feature "Shared by Me", even though both machines have
many shareable files/folders.
I tried calling MS, but lucky me got Vista with an OEM serial number on
a new machine so i was referred to Toshiba. Toshiba support knows
nothing about this issue.
The other searches such as "recent documents", etc all work fine.
