When we want to find a file in computer, we use searching fuction in windows (eg In windows 7 OS, open a windows explorer and type the file name will do).
I am interested in where does this record located in system files. In real case, so we can indentify the interests of the suspect.

The NTUSER.DAT Registry Key - WordWheelQuery stores this user search information in Windows 7
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery
