Searching InDesign

[s murphy]

Has anyone else had difficulty searching for text within
an unspecified InDesign document?

If I search in a document (*.indd) with a specific word
that I know is in the file, I come up with zero results.

I can perform the search perfectly on Windows 2000 or
Windows NT. Is anyone aware of a fix or a patch for this?

Thanks!

XP only searches for text in certain file types which does not include
*.indd files. You have two choices. Use a 3rd party utility.
Agentransack is an excellent, free one,

Or edit the registry. See this MS KB article:
Using the "A word or phrase in the file" search criterion may not work
