No one is holding a gun to your head! If you don't want to solve the problem, don't ask for help. If you do want to solve the problem and learn how to operate your Mac correctly, then pay attention to suggestions that you are getting for free. I did not suggest that you QUIT the running programs, only CLOSE the active windows so you could have a clear view of the search window and see what files could be found and where they are located. End of suggestions.
