Network File Search Fails

Okay, I'm getting some really odd behaviour on my XP machine. Running a
file search in advanced mode against a mapped drive, it finds no files. It
makes no difference whether I used the mapped device or the full network
path, I get nothing. There most certainly ARE files there, as I can browse
to them and view them just fine.

This is a fairly new computer from our IT department, so it's entirely
possible that I've never tried a network search on this computer and they've
set some registry key or some such thing. But I can't imagine them trying
to forbid a network search for any reason...if that's even possible.

I've tried re-booting, but no effect.

Anybody have ANY clue what could be causing this?



Rob
