I'm looking for a particular file...
afx.h
I know which cab it's in. I can see it using an archiver.
However...
when I click on Search,
then upon For Files or Folders...
The search mechanism doesn't see it nor find it. I tell it
what folder to look inside. I tell it to search for a specific
filename:
afx.h
I put check marks in everything under Advanced Options,
except Case sensitive.
Nothing turns up. I double click on the cab file... and the
archiving program displays the file. I extract the contents
of the cab to a subfolder and the file appears all in the
search window now. I compress that folder INTO a ZIP
file and the search window still shows the file as existing.
Now... this means that the XP search engine on this machine
searches through .Zip files but doesn't search through the
Microsoft defined compressed file archives.
What's up with this? I've seen the problem where I couldn't
turn off searching through Zipped files and I always assumed
that it also searched through .cab files but I say it isn't so.
Is this a bug with ONLY my systems?
