Vista search is ignoring the content of WordPerfect files. I've made sure
that the .wpd extension is marked 'Index Properties and File Contents' under
Advanced Indexing Options and I've rebuilt the index for the selected
locations (thanks to other contributors for pointing out these possible
solutions). There is no problem searching for content in .pdf, .doc or .html
files in the same folders, but as the majority of my files are WordPerfect
this is a serious shortcoming of the Vista search facility (unless I've done
something daft or neglected the obvious).

If anyone knows of a solution or a work-around I would be most grateful.
Cheers.
 
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, Dave, but installing the WP ifilter
didn't have any effect, even after rebuilding the index again.
 
Thanks Ronnie, I do indeed keep a lot of ancient WordPerfect archive material
on file so I guess I'll just have to stick to the internal WordPerfect search
facility and hope Corel supplies an indexing patch for X3 which I'm currently
using.
 
I was having this exact same problem of the Vista Indexer not indexing
my Wordperfect files. I finally found and installed a new Wordperfect
ifilter from Corel (64 bit for my version of Vista, they also have a 32
bit version posted).
