I can corroborate your experience here. Search for filename "*.java" and get hits. View one of those .java files, copy a string out of it, and go back to the search. Search for filename "*.java" again, with contents matching the string you paste in. Get zero hits. Lame! Google Desktop search does the trick for me, however. Try that instead. -- joe atzberger On 7/20/07, Jeffrey Barnett <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Yes, I know I real programmers use grep ;-) > But I still want an explanation! > > Jeffrey Barnett wrote: > > Is this a well known feature or something I've managed to bring on > > myself through an excess of customization? > > > > Try this: In the windows search tool specify > > All or part of file name: .java > > A word or phrase in the file: import > > Look in: <some directory with java files> > > > > I've tried this on three different work stations and the result has > > always been: > > > > "Search Complete: No results to display" > > > > Same thing happens searching for common statements inside .jsp and .bas > > files. > > > > PS: I also have "search system files" enabled, so they are not being > > skipped for that reason >
