Searching for contents of a file in Vista only occassionally

Hi,

I have a user who searches for files frequently within Windows Explorer.
Sometimes he only wants to search by filename, other times he'd like to
search within contents of files. The files can be stored in various folders
on various drives.

My question is this: is there an easier way to switch between searching for
contents vs. filenames other than changing his search options within the
Folders and Search Options dialog box (under the Organize button)? The
advanced search pane doesn't give an option for one or the other, so the only
solution I can find is to continually keep changing your options in the
dialog box. This seems tedious.

Vista is the operating system.

Thanks for any feedback!

Vista's default search results will return a list of files that contain the
keywords either as part of the name or contents, I assume you would just want
a method of easily stating "only find matching names" as needed.

The following WEB page lists advanced search tips including by filename...
