Hopefully, they'll expose this through a usable UI in a future upgrade. <br /> <br /> @Ryan & madsb: Thanks for the suggestions.

Only thing to watch out for is the boolean/wildcard searchs, as it doesnt support those yet. For your PC you should check out Copernic Desktop Search, been please with it so far.
