Question about 'Get Find/Search - Advanced' in Windows XP

I have a question about Get Find/Search Advance Option - containing text...:

Whenever I perform Explorer's advanced search, where I include some text to find within the file(s) listed - it usually never finds any files to satisfy my request. I've tested it with searches that should have returned some known files. I have search *.txt and it has worked with those. Using *.dat (text or binary files) for example - always fails. Is there a limitation on file types that I'm not aware of ?
