Your example is still not the query syntax even though it is understood =
if you pass it to index server.  I think the query syntax is something =
like ($contents folder) AND ($contents builds) AND ({at}filename=3D*.txt).

  The ! seems to be always needed here. On XP SP2. I just pressed Win+F
  and entered the following under 'A word or phrase in the file':

  folder & builds & {at}filename=3D*.txt

  The search ground away and had displayed nothing in 20 seconds, so I
  clicked Stop. I then inserted '!' at the start of the search and got a
  list of 50 items in under a second.

  I then deleted the '!' and clicked Search. Within a second it
  announced:
  Search is complete. There are no results to display.

  Yes - I can see that. Also, if I created a file one minute ago, the
  "search with indexing" might not find it (although in practice I have
  noticed the CI is amazingly fast at noticing changed files -
  presumably it requests notifications).

  Some serious work on the GUI (starting with shooting the dog) is
  needed! The ultra-friendly gumph that is shown under 'Change
  preferences' is just TOO confusing! Example: I see
      Without Indexing Service
  meaning that I am USING the indexing service, and if I were to click
  the stupid message it would stop using it.
