   Hi all,   
      
   Until now I have used Windows 2000, and these days I switched to Windows   
   XP SP2. Now I'm having the following problem with the Windows Explorer   
   Search in WinXP (I'll describe the steps to reproduce):   
   - create a directory eg MY_DIR   
   - create in this dir a file momo.txt in which write the text "lolo"   
   - make a copy of momo.txt in the same dir and rename it to momo.pm   
   - use Windows Explorer to make a search into MY_DIR directory for all   
   files that contain the "lolo" string   
   => even if the content of momo.txt and momo.pm is identical, only   
   momo.txt is found. In Windows 2000 this was not a problem.   
      
   I used TweakUI to change the search to be like Windows 2k, but this   
   doesn't really affect the actual search. How can I change the behaviour,   
   so that in the above scenario both files to be found as containing the   
   "lolo" string?   
      
   Thx,   
   Viv
