Ronnie (& others),
Thanks for the tips. I think I have resolved my original issue. It would seem that
WindowsXP comes default with a search engine that searches very few file types. That,
apparently, was their solution to make it appear to perform a rapid search. Sadly,
they left out many file types that we programmers tend to search. To add them, one
must alter the registry (scary, I know) to add persistant handlers to all the file
types you wish to search for. There are a number of articles out on the web that
show you how to do this. I've done it, and it works. Alternatively, you can choose
to use a utility such as ZTree for Windows (which you may really like if you are
a child of DOS and XTreeGold).
