Searching hard drive for media – Windows 7
I can click on my windows Start button and type “sharpening” and Windows searches and finds seven examples of sharpening sfx which are stored on my hard drive. That really is super BUT, it’s quite possible that each of these files is buried in a separate folder and I then have to find the location of each file; go and search for them to actually hear them. I was wondering if I could somehow do the same type of search within Vegas, which would bring all these files up, allowing me to instantly audition them?

No, but if you download Everything (no, really, that’s the name of the program – https://www.voidtools.com/), then search for your file, the results is draggable, like in Explorer, and can be dragged into another folder or into an application.
Everything is so unbelievably fast that I use it more often than Windows Explorer search.

Steve! Totally brilliant . . . .
It is so darn fast and sensible.
I got a polite request to wait as processing 121k files would take several minutes – it was done in like 2 seconds!
I read that a Right Click to Open would crash my system and that I should rather install the BETA version. I didn’t. I’ve right clicked on a file and it opened in WMP.
Thanks “Mann”!
Grazie

You’re a star !!
