Recommend a search application for Windows?

    I got very frustrated with Windows own search function not returning the right results. It wasn't finding files I knew were there (and was able to locate manually).

    By the way, I have Windows XP Media Center Edition.

    So, upon the recommendation of a friend, I downloaded Agent Ransack. It's very fast and works great. But, there's a problem.

    It only returns the name / location of the file. There's no option to see a thumbnail of the file if it is an image. (That is one thing I really like about Windows search.)

    Since I'm a webdesigner, I often search for images, and the name of the file isn't always descriptive enough to help me identify if a particular file is the I want or not.

    So, I wonder if anyone can recommend a fast, reliable search application that has the option for a thumbnail view. Your thoughts would be much appreciated!

    cheers!
