I'm using D7 and am looking for a File Find Dialog component. My
application requires that my users find a certain file on their
computer. Unfortuneatly, some have difficulty using Windows Explorer.
So, I'm looking for a File Find Dialog component that emmulate the
search feature in windows explorer. TIA.

I dont know of a dialog that does the same as explorer, it wouldnt be
hard to write one though.. to be honest, using findfirst and findnext
is actually quicker

Thanks, but I was looking for something a bit more automated,
particularly with regard to drive discovery and error handling, i.e. is
there a CD drive and is there a CD in it or not, etc... Many of my
users are computer illiterate and can't even tell me if they have a CD
drive or not. Yes it would be fairly easy to write but it would take
time to test on different OS and hardware configuration.

Here's a couple of components that, while not dialogs, would take care
of the background work of actually finding the files:

FileFinder from the Delphi Inspiration (20 Euros or 60 with source):
http://www.yunqa.de/delphi/
It supports standard wildcards as well as regular expressions. I haven't
used it but I have used their regular expression stuff which is quite good.

TLMDFileGrep which is in the standard edition of LMD tools (149 Euros
with lots of other stuff) or TLMDSearchFileGrep which is in the pro
edition (199 Euros) and includes the ability to search file contents as
well as names/dates and attributes.
www.lmd.de

Their must be components like this in the Jedi vcl as well.

Never tried/used this component, but, maybe it'll be closer to what you're looking for:

ShellBrowser Components
