Search gives locked files in results

Open any file exclusively in any folder (for example, open any doc or xls file in any office application). For example, file name of such a document - test.doc or test.xls
Now run Search files/folders (Alt-F7)
Try to find any "file name" that is not contained in the name of your file, for example, search for "stone" (without quotes)
But after search is finished, in search results you'll see your exclusively opened test.doc, but it should not be there!
In Search log there would be a message "Process can not access the file because it is in use by another process"
So, all files, that are in use by another process are shown in the search results, but it is wrong.
Very often such a problem occurs if you try to find something on local disk, where pagefile.sys is present. It is always given in search results.
