Windows Explorer Search problem

In Windows Explorer, I search through source code subdirectories for
files of type *.vb containing the word Public. Windows Explorer Search
says it can find no such files, even though there are many such files.
What is up?

Hi Bill,

Because the search function in Windows XP was rendered useless until you fix
it. Here is the explanation and the fix:

Using the "A word or phrase in the file" search criterion may not work

Hello all, On occasion I want to open hyperlinks (images, etc.) in a new window. In the past, I've used target="_blank" to open the link in a new window. However, using the "target" attribute causes my pages to fail validation (strict doctype). The validator says "There is no attribute 'target'.." So...how do I open a link in a new window, without Javscript, and pass strict validation?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
