Answer 2

Either go to C:\users\your_name or press Windows Key+R and type %userprofile%, then double click on the folder "Searches".

All your saved searches are here - This should be the same as the "Search Folder" feature of Vista.

To create a new saved search, the simplest way is simply to run a search (from the top right hand corner) or click the start orb and type your search term then click at the bottom See more results". You should then see the optionSave search` and it will save as a "Search Folder"
