    Searching from Start menu: unfathomable behaviour


    If I search for "so" in the Start menu, I get the sound settings suggested. If I search for "soun" in the Start menu, I get a different result, even though both results contain both "so" and "soun". Why aren't both results presented? That would be ideal. Is there a way to get the search function to perform as expected and present all matching results including both the sound settings and the "Sound Deck" program for both querries "so" and "soun"? Thanks.

    Windows Search has always been wacky.

    In W7, if I search for RegEdit, it appears if I type "reg", but if I type any more letters it won't reappear until I type "regedit".
