This doesn't make sense, would appreciate knowing what am doing wrong.



Using WinXP-Pro. If I open up a search window (My Computer > Search >
AllFilesAndFolders > ) and key in a word or phrase, (let's say...
mountains), and select the "Look in" (let's say Local C Drive, or My
Documents), here's what happens...



It only brings up a few old letters but misses some others--one for certain
in an old WordPerfect file. Already checked basic things like ensuring it's
checking hidden files, subfolders, and so forth.
