False negatives in "Search"

A

Alan

Hi all,

I'm running in false negative search results when I am
using the "Find" functionality in WinXP. I'm searching
for files with name "*.java" that has a
substring "ArticleData". In the directory, I know I have
at least one file NewsletterData.java that has the
phrase "ArticleData" in it but it never shows up in the
results. If I rename the NewsletterData.java file to
another extension such as .txt, .cpp, .h, etc, it works
perfectly.

I've done the same thing before in Win98 and 2000, and
they all worked perfectly. Does anyone have an idea if
something's change in XP or if I'm missing some "hidden"
setting. This is a really really annoying bug!

Cheers,
Alan
