search a folder of .fmb files

I need to search a folder of .fmb files to see if they have a certain phrase.
(These are Oracle forms, and NO, Oracle is no help.)

When I click the Search button on Windows Explorer to find a string, it
comes up empty. When I open one of these .fmb files in Notepad, it does have
this text string.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks,
Wayne

You have to change a registry entry to accomplish
this. The entry is in the file association entry. Open the file
association for the extention you want to search and add the "Content Type"
with a REG_SZ of text/plain. I believe that will do it.

You can create a .reg file for this also

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.YOUREXTENTION]
@="txtfile"
"PerceivedType"="text"
"Content Type"="text/plain"

This will add to the entry and then windows search will search it for text
entries.

Hi Wayne,

Download the free version of Agent Ransack at
http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/download.aspx.

This utility works much better -- without any tweaking -- than XP's native
search.
