Quick search text box for Windows Explorer [XP]
Hirudin:
DirectoryOpus almost has the feature it looks like you're looking for. It doesn't seem to search within folders though. If you start typing it'll highlight the first matching file name. Actually, come to think of it, this is the same as explorer except they make a "Find" box pop up...
Maybe with some gentle persuasion they'd implement recursive search.
Hmmm... maybe a toolbar button could be (or has been) created that would allow a firefox-like search field... I bet someone on the Dopus forum would know.

Thanks guys. FileLocator Pro is very impressive. A lot of its features seem to be overkill for me but it seems to be _much_ faster than Windows' default search (13 seconds to locate 740 files as opposed to just 3 taken by FLPro!). It let me take over the Ctrl+F & F3 shortcuts in Explorer as Darwin mentioned & I used Autohotkey to hi-jack the Win+F key too. :)
