Why would Microsoft fix Adobe's stuff? I haven't really seen the search bug, care to elaborate?

What I've noticed (and quite a few other people, but by no means universal): viewtopic.php?f=29&t=71815 - just because I've seen it affect Adobe Flash, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bug in Adobe Flash.
mikeymike wrote:The libraries problem may be something peculiar about my system, but if I go Start > Documents, then do a search for anything (*.*, or for a file name I can even see in the main documents window), I get no results. If I go to my documents folder through the file system, the search function works as expected. My documents folder isn't in the default path, but Windows acknowledges it as my documents folder in the usual way, and it's the only folder specified in the documents library.
