File System Search on an asp file yields not results

This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with
..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced
the same situation.

I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e.
"renewalInf o" )

When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a
couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other
file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.

I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I
get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file
system was not searching inside the <%%> tags.

I'm running XP Professional.

Has anyone experienced this situation?

Sorry I'm posting the question here, I'm also posting the question in
microsoft.publi c.windowsxp.gen eral newsgroup, but I think one of you guys
might have experienced this.

Thank you for your time.

It's a new "feature" masquerading as a bug. Had the same thing happen at
home but I cannot find the KB article now for some reason. Here is a
reference to the fix:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...bl%26rnum%3D10

Cause is that "find in files" no longer does a "text" search on all file
types. It uses search filters. The filter for ASP files does not look in
code, it tries to search what the script might output (html filter does the
same).

I find Visual Studio's "find in files" feature much better. As Mark
indicates, there is a problem with the filter that makes the search engine
treat ASP files different than .INC or .TXT...

Hi there I've just been playing around with some python code and I've got a fun little optimization problem I could use some help with. Basically, the program needs to take in a random list of no more than 10 letters, and find all possible mutations that match a word in my dictionary (80k words). However a wildcard letter '?' is also an acceptable character which increases the worst case time significantly. So if the letters are check...

Hi, Anyone has the background for explaining? I have made a search on my name and I have got a link to another search engine. The link's title was the search phrase for the other search engine (a wicked phrase). Some but not all of the words of that phrase exist in my website. I reported it and they removed the link but did not give explanations.

Speed/performance is a requirement -- the target is to locate the string in 10 seconds or less for a 100 MB file. The...

Hi I have an application (in vb.NET 2005) which holds data in SQL Server and some of the SQL records are simply paths to related files.
