Last night I decided to download Windows Commander, except that I couldn't remember the name of it.  I had meant to ask my brother-in-law the web site URL before I left Indiana, but I forgot.  So how do you search for something that you don't know what it's named or where it is?

I did remember the commander part.  Do you know how many uses there are of the word "commander" on the Internet?  After futilely looking at about a dozen websites, scanning categories in the dmoz web directiory, and searching for various combinations of "commander + something else", I stumbled across adding "windows" to my keywords.  It seems so obvious now, but maybe I shouldn't be trying to think straight at 2 o'clock in the morning?
