I found a bug in Instant Search: when you have a file named like this "filename[1].doc" and you rename it to filename.doc, the Instant Search always displays the first name "filename[1].doc" in the start menu search results, although that file has been renamed to "filename.doc" a week ago (and so when you click on "filename[1].doc" the file is not found).

It's not a bug you UAC worshipping dumbass. It's because, in your Start Menu settings you have not disabled 'Search Recent Files'.

Recent Files is a lot more than the Recent Items that appear in the Start Menu. I think that just shows the last 10 or 15.
This might be the address:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
But I can't be sure as as I have a fresh installation of Vista here, so I don't have any Recent Files.
Try putting your old filename in the advanced search box and see what the location of it is.

if I search for "filename[1].doc" I see in the search results a non existant file "Path: filename[1].doc (C:\Users\BillD\Download\)" i.e. its location listed in search results is C:\Users\BillD\Download So, there's a bug in Instant Search
