Dave, have you got TweakUI installed?

If so, see item 2)

Following warnings/notes reproduced with acknowledgement to the late
Koldbear

1) Do *not* change the first icon from "My Documents" on the Desktop tab
2) Do *not* uncheck: Search Results on the Desktop tab
3) Do *not* hide the Tweak UI icon on the Control Panel tab
4) Do *not* uncheck: Show Control Panel on Start Menu on the IE tab
5) Do *not* uncheck: Shell enhancements on the IE tab
6) To move "My Documents" folder, right-click on the Folder, and click
Properties.

You can download TweakUI from Microsoft at :-

What's the problem Dave?  Have you perhaps used TweakUI and unchecked the
Search Results box on the Desktop tab?  If so that could well be your
problem.

See MS KB 274847 "No Search Results Are Returned After You Disable Search
Results" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=274847).
