I also had trouble with Windows XP search for files and folders
utility. I use the program Find Files from Mijenix Corporation. It is
a stand alone executable (no installation required). It runs on
Windows XP Pro, no issues. You can get the file from
http://www.shellfront.org/utils/

Scroll down the list and find find.zip. Hope this helps you.

Good ludk to you!

It searches files as ANSI unless there is a two byte unicode header then it will search as unicode. There is no way for a program to be sure if a file is unicode or not - it has a look then a guess. It won't find ansi if searching as unicode or vice versa.
