The Windows Search Utility defaults to not look in system folders, or
hidden files and folders.  As such, Program Files is one of these
folders.  You need to check the option to search such folders.

You can add C:\Cygwin\bin and C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin (if you use
X-windows based systems) to your system PATH, so that all applications
can find the appropriate binaries, libraries, and the like.  The only
problem with this method, is that you need to keep up with the files
that newly installed or updated programmes are using.
