You might try downloading locate, which is a much better search than Windows search. Make sure you have it update its database first before you search.

If that is still unavailing, it is time to make sure you do a good backup of all your documents, including those hiding out in My Documents and Application Data. Files generally don't just disappear, so I am concerned your computer may be about to crash leaving you with nothing if you have no backups.

If you use Firefox and Thunderbird, mozbackup is the easy way to backup data for those programs.
