If I create 2 asp files one.asp and two.asp in a new directory
Enter the text 'string' into the file one.asp
Enter the text '<% string %>' into the file two.asp
Open the search from the start menu
Select all files and folders
Type 'string' in the 'A word or phrase in the file' box
Change the 'look in' to the directory that contains the 2 asp files
Click the search button
Only the one.asp file is found in the search
This will return both files in NT, 2000 and all previous versions of Windows
XP doesn't seem to be checking anything in the <% brackets in asp files. These aren't comments and shouldn't be ignored as this can be asp code or javascript code
This is not due to the known problems with search where certain files are not searched and the search breaks up the text of the file into groups of words
This seems to be due the the comments not being searched in certain file types but as you know these aren't comments.
