Create a file in WordPad and save default as RTF file.
Now do a simple search to a known string in the RTF-
file. Certain XP's will find it and mine and some other
XP's don't seem to "see" the RTF-file. Please help, it
is urgent!
Thanx to whoever can help

See http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_fix_search.htm for a partial
work around for this problem. Some users are using Agent Ransack,
www.agentransack.com to work around some of XP's search limitations.
