It is part and parcel of the explorer.exe. Get something like process checker and see. In Task Manager, when you start up FIND and run the search, three to six more handles and one to two new threads get added to explorer.exe.

The closest you'll get to the search feature, at least for files, is the old DOS standby, DIR.
