Re: OT question - Copernic Desktop Search

[flash flash@xxxxxxxx]

≪I suspect this is some setting not right somewhere. My XP Search does
find
  the files by text within. There's an option with a black triangle
next to
  it that says: "More advanced options." Click on that and see if
everything
  is set correctly. Also, make sure that "When was it modified?" and
"What
  size is it?" are both set correctly (probably to "Don't remember").


Your suspicion raised my hopes, but that's not the answer. I checked the
advanced options, and everything is set correctly,
including the `don't remember's. I can't say that XP never locates files
by text within, but it fails to do so most of the time.
And even when it does, it locates far fewer files than Win98 when
searching the same directories for the same text.≫

If I remember correctly, you have to turn on a function called
"indexing", or maybe it was called something else, in order to search on
contents (as opposed to dates, file names, etc.).
