Default Locating an Existing Document in the "OPEN" Dialogue Box

In Office 2000 (used at work) and Office 2003 (used on my home computer), you
can quickly locate an existing document by first displaying all documents
with a certain word in their title. I have just upgraded to Office XP and
seem to have lost this functionality. For example, under the 2000 & 2003
versions, you first bring up the "open" dialogue box. Say you want to open a
document that you know has the word "review" in it. In the file name box, you
type "review." Instantly, every document with the word "review" in it is
displayed. You choose the one you want and open it. I can't get this to
work in Office XP. If I type the word "review," all documents disappear,
including those that have that word as part of the document title. Is there
a setting that I'm overlooking?
