How to 'Search' for keywords in .vb files?

I seem to have lost a vb.net project. It would be of great help if anybody
could suggect a way, that I can give a windows search to look for keywords in

Thanks.

Assuming Windows XP, just right click on the root (like C:) and click
on Search. Then where it sais: "All or part of the file name:" put
*.vb and where it sais "A word or phrase in the file" put your
keyword...

KD,

Can you explain it a little bit more what you want to achieve, at least I
don't understand you what you mean with "keywords".

I have somehow misplaced a whole vb.net project. However, I do know what I
have done in those projects, like for example, there is an insert statement.
I want to do a search on all the files with a specific criteria - files with
..vb extension and contains keywords - 'insert'; like the windows search
utility. The windows search, is not fetching me the files! Is there anyway to
locate the project?

Thanks.

KD,

Do you use Visual Studio Net (or Visual Studio Basic)?

I assume that the crippled search included in Windows does not search the
"*.vb" files' contents... Alternative search application:

KD,

Did you try in VS Net when you have opened your project.

Edit, Find in files, when you see it, it tells you in my opinion the rest.

I hope this helps?

XP Doesn't search within all files as standard, see the below link for a
fix.
