XP file Searching

[Gary]

I notice that using XP for searching through a project for strings does not
work, as it did in Win2k. It can't seem to find stuff in VB or aspx or much
else. Can this be fixed somehow? Is it an XP bug?
Thanks,
G

Gary Hi,

I'm also using in organization with tens of programmers working on XP
and we don’t experience such a problem so it doesn’t look to me as a
bug.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for posting in the community! My name is Steven, and I'll be
assisting you on this issue.
From your description, you found that the Search string(Find/Replace)
function in VS.NET didn't work when using on a WIN XP machine, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
As for this problem, I'd like to confirm some further things on it:
1.Does this problem occur everytime you search text in VS.NET in all kinds
of projects? Does it only occur in particular cases such as search for a
certain string or in a certain project type?

2. Have you tried this on other machines which is Win XP installed and with
VS.NET?

Since I've tried searching some simple text in a ASP.NET web project on a
Win XP professinoal machine and the problem didn't occur. Would you please
provide me more infos on the problem's situation so as for me to repro it?
Thanks.

Also, if you have any new findings, please feel free to let me know.
