my pc's search does not search within 'PHP' files for the phrase i am looking for!

[jasonc310771]

I have Windows XP, I have tried to search within a folder in 'My Webs' for a certain phrase but no results are found even though i am searching for text that is in one of those files!

is there some setting i need to change to allow the search to look in PHP files ?

or does the search just not search the PHP files?

I don't think there's an easy way... maybe there's a registry setting?

Probably simplest just to use another search utility, Agent Ransack (http://www.agentransack.com) does the job for me.

My experience with the search inside of files on Windows XP has been kind of hit or miss, it is almost like it is broken in some configurations.
