On Win98 systems - NO PROBLEM, found every file containing the text.
On WinXP Pro - NEVER found the files!!! [using that obnoxious 'puppy' search tool]
[Note: the identical files are mirrored/synced on ALL machines] To verify, I went to
the known files, and yes, the words were in the files, but that !@#$#!@#$ WinXP
search puppy NEVER found the files !!!
Again you see, why I use the Win98 systems?
Anyway a heads up, I was told on the WinXP group that searching always fails and to
use a different search tool, 3rd party, Agent Ransack. {?]
I suspect that what you are seeing is the difference in security systems that exist from WinXP onwards where files in the 'program Files' and 'Program Files (x86)' directories are considered to not be data files, and if your installation has put the data files there (by implication from your statement about files being synched across systems) then they may well be ignored by tools looking for data files.
Feel free to use a system that has no basic security against virus infestation such as your Win98 machine if that is the way you want to work.
