Find text within file

[JACOB]

I have an email with the key for my CD of office 2007 and I am entering in
the search box part of the string or the whole string with and without
qoutes and in all ways and places I can search even non indexed and it would
not find it. I know whre it is... but I can not have any trust in the search
engine if I dont understand what it will search and what not.
Please help

That should work

Actually I do - and it does.

It is for file names!!!

Indexed locations include content within files

Other possibilities:

The local folder/file for your email may be encrypted - Outlook likes to
do that.

The OP may be using a email client which stores messages somewhere not
indexed

The OP may be using web email

Certainly the OP likes to run sentences and thoughts together without really
thinking about what they are writing and I'm sure they didn't re-read what
they read or maybe even they are thinking this is just a texting service in
which people really don't read whatever and it really doesn't matter because
unless one answers in 10 minutes or less it won't ever get read.

Windows search WILL find text within Outlook emails (which I use for my MSN
email account).

Have you used a registry cleaner?

When I used RegistryBooster 2 it trashes the search function because it
deleted a few Outlook search entries as if they were unused.

I used both the search in Outlook and the Windows Vista search option. I did
not use quotes etc. It found my CD Key and anything else I searched for.

After reinstating the correct registry keys and adding a * to the end of the
path and restarting the search which requires another fix to a key in the
registry all is well. Even the RegistryBooster 2 program no longer deletes
the necessary keys. I have since stopped using the cleaner.

I'm surprised that you didn't use foul language. Must have gotten laid last
night, right Mick?

Yikes. I hope that's not true. I can easily
and quickly search a drive for specific text in
a file using the Find function of Win98, and it
doesn't have any (dubious) indexing ability.

If Vista is going to bother with an indexing
database at all, the only value is a slight speed-up
in returning results from full-file searches.
