Re: Problem in searching a file containing a word or phrase

It's not a bug. It's intentional, as it's designed to save time by skipping over files that are not recognized as having text. Use Agent Ransack or another program if you wish to search files with "odd" extensions.

I have exactly the same problem,
the "search" facility is sometimes uncapable to find words in certain file types.
For example, it will find the word in files with the extensions .c or .cpp , but it fails if the extension is .a
In previous versions ( windows 2000 ) it was working well.
How to submit this bug to Microsoft so that they fix it ?

I wanted to find files in a folder containing a word.
I have selected "Start" -> "Search" -> "For Files or Folders"
In the search window I selected "All files and folders" for "What do you want to search for?"
For the Search criteria, I have left "All or part of the file name" as blank, since I want to search all files
I have entered the word I wanted to search for, in "A word or phrase in the file".
I have selected the folder I want to search, in "Look in", by using "Browse" option
Then I clicked on "Search"
Eventhough there are files in the folder I have selected, which contains the word I entered, I get the message "Search is complete. There are no results to display."
The funny thing is that for some words it displays only one file, even when there are more files which qualifies the criteria.
Did any one experienced this problem and have a solution for this?
