Search "a word or phrase in the file" for Word Perfect Files

I made the changes in my using method 2 in article 309173 and am now able to
use a one word search in my old Word Perfect files. However, if I use more
than one word, I get no hits in my Word Perfect files. If I transfer those
files to Word, I get hits. HELP?

What changes do I need to make to search my hard drive for Word Perfect
files containing a short phrase?

I'm going to make a suggestion that you don't mess around with the sadly
lame Windows Search at all. Download the free Agent Ransack search
program from he http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/

You will be absolutely amazed and how quickly it finds things. Makes
searching a pleasure instead of an aggravation.

Agentransack search found only one word -- same as Microsoft. Maybe I am not
using the program correctly. But if I get it work fairly quickly, I am not
interested.

Thanks for your advice.
