How do I search through the directory and sub dirs for a string?
Hi,
Windows XP Professional search doesn't seem to work.
I put a string that "is" in a file in the "A word or a phrase in the file" and it doesn't show it. Sometimes it does work and most it does not.
Why?
How else can I search through the directory and sub dirs for a string?
What about DOS commands?

I just noticed that it is CASE sensitive... how do I chose one way or the other?

Thank you bcarlis
However, with that said, even if it is disabled, XP does not search non standard file extensions (common in the event you are a coder/programmer of some sort) with out enabling the searching of files with Unknown Extensions....
