Search for files containing a word

[Göran Walltott]

I'm using the search functionality by rightclicking and
selecting search to find files in a folder containing a
specific word.
This seems not to work as it worked in NT or W2K.
Sometimes it can find a file eventhough I know it should
result in more files. Most of the searches gives nothing.

Please provide me with information why it behaves like this

Download Agent Ransack -

This is very fast, much more efficient than the Generic XP one, will also
find hidden or protected files & appears on your rightclick menu.
It also allows you to elect to search any multiple folders of your choice at
one time - eg. Progam Files & Administrator on your C: drive & at the same
time, other folders of your choice on another partition or drive.
Many XP owners now use it.
