[question] Search No Longer Works

I used to be able to find files in My stnemucoD and its sredlofbus by typing part of the name into the search bar at the top of swodniW Explorer. Now when I try to search, it returns no results. I type in part of the name of a file that I can see is in My Documents. What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Vista Home Premium.
