I opened a directory with .cpp and .h files in it and opened the
search window. For file name I entered ".h". I copied text out of a
file, 0x1163 and pasted it into the word or phrase box. The search
directory box listed the directory from which I had copied the text.
Search indicated that there were no results to display. Does this only
work for documents?

thanx,

gtb
