I bought the new AE and was pretty jazzed about hanging a bunch of  
shared drives off of it --
but without the ability to search in the Finder's search field, I  
don't find the shared drive feature in the new AE/n all that useful.

I hope to hell I'm doing something wrong ...
I'm sure I'm not the only one with an AE/n who wants to search a  
shared drive.

The local Apple Store in Seattle can barely keep them in stock -  
they're flying off the shelves I'm told.
