Win2K (and I think NT4) has a document indexing

there's a quicker way to get there, but I use that so infrequently I don't
remember).
The problem is the query tool isn't as readily available or as usable as I would
like. But it does work, and it's a little known service.
I remember turning it off. On my Win2000 machine it's under My Computer /
Manage / Services and Applications / Indexing Service / Query the Catalog.
This brings up a form for entering search terms. A link "Tips for searching"
brings up another sentence of help, and on that page, there's a button
"Query Syntax" that's a NOP on my machine.
