Old XP search options in the left panel please.
I recently found that you can go into the file options inside control panel and change the search properties to search through the contents of a file instead of just the names of the file. This takes long but sometimes it's worth it. However I remember in XP you had a left panel that lets you very quickly use either search through just filenames or filenames and the entire files themself. I loved the way XP worked in that way since sometimes I wanted to spend the time to do a complete search through the files contents as well as the filenames and sometimes I didn't. Is there anyway I could get back this functionality in either Windows Vista itself or in a commercial or open source freeware program?
I am using a 64-bit version of Vista called home premium.
I am also in some sort of classic mode which has the all XP look when you open up programs. I mean it shows all the programs at the same time and you do not need to do a search. I prefer this mode, but forget how to go back and forth.
I have read the other XP search question post on this forum and I have not found this question addressed before.

In Windows Explorer, go to Organize>Folder & Search Options, then you can change the various search settings in the Search tab.
