Explanation
In Windows 7, each user account has its own private profile folders (e.g., C:\Users\User1\Documents). Files saved there are owned by and only indexed for that user account. When the second user searches via the Start menu, Windows only searches locations accessible to and indexed for that user, so the first user's private document will not appear. The solution is to save shared files in the Public folder (C:\Users\Public). Hidden (A), locked (B), and system (C) file attributes would be additional access/visibility issues but are not the root cause described in this scenario.
