Yeap, my mistake. A Linux search for "mimeTypes.rdf" gives 70 results,
65 of which are on assorted Windows drives. As I typed, earlier, when I
got as far as typing "mim" the Windows Search results field was coming
up empty.
Does Windows only, natively, search the C:?? Nope, cause seven of the
(65) Linux search results are on my C:!!
Windows default is to search the currently selected location in Windows
Explorer. In W7 there is a search entry box in Explorer in the upper
right. It should have grey italic text saying: Search Media (H:)
(assuming you're on drive H:).
I just invoked it (F3) from the desktop and it opened an Explorer window
and began searching EVERY location below that. Every physical and
logical and network drive.
Two points on searches in Win7 Windows Explorer:
1) To the left of the search window, extending across most of the
screen, is a pull-down that lets you specify a particular directory (and
all its contents). Unfortunately, the listed items are just recently
visited folders. But each of the elements of the path is clickable. The
default is "Computer," which searches everywhere.
A more convenient way to search a particular directory is to begin by
navigating to it in WE, and /then/ enter the search string. You will
notice that the blank search window says "Search foldername," where
"foldername" is the current folder name.
2) To search for hidden and system files, you must begin by unhiding
them: Organize (button at far left), Folder and Search Options, "View"
tab, enable the radio button "Show hidden files, folders, and drives."
The usual warning to clumsy users who might inadvertently delete or
rename such files applies.
FWIW, the search string
mime*.rdf
produced one hit in my SeaMonkey profile and a bunch on my backup drive
(various earlier versions).
