Search (file find)

[Dennis Allen]

Hi. I hope someone in this newsgroup can help. I'm trying to understand
the new Window XP Pro Search (coming over from windows 98). I have a SUBST
drive, full of folders containing *.prg files. If I do a search on that
drive, 'all files and folders', '*.*', 'CREATED', all I get a list of txt,
exe, gif and word doc files. Even if I specify file type as 'Micorosoft
Visual Foxpro Program'. What's the deal? Why can't the puppy find the word
'CREATED' in the prg files? That drive has lots of prg files, every one
containing the word 'CREATED'...Dennis

P.S. If you already saw this message, sorry. I know I sent it once, but
never came up on the newsgroup.
