Find as you type for XP?

[HybridZero]

Hey everyone,

Just a quick question for you: Does anyone know of any app that would give Windows Explorer the ability to search the currently open folder as you type, as Nautilus does? When I have to use XP for certain things, I find myself doing it out of habit, and I really miss having the feature available to me, as it makes things much easier. I know it can be done via the address bar, but I'd really like something similar to how nautilus does it.

Any help you guys can give would be awesome!

Use Windows Search or Google Search.

You mean typing part of a filename and having it selected? Windows XP has that, just without the handy text box to edit it, and you have to type at a decent rate. For a really long time I thought Windows XP could only do that with the first letter...
