OK, so I denied permission for the SYSTEM to Set Value and turned on
auditing for that key. However, the bottom line is that I'm still getting
the same search results--nothing found between <% and %> in an .asp file.

Turn auditing on and see what changes it.

Clark,
If {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}has helped you, deny write
permission for this registry key and see if that works well.

Ramesh,
Something in Windows keeps changing the text filter back to the html filter.
I looked at my registry yesterday and noticed that the Persistent Handler
for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asp was specified as
{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}, the html filter. I thought maybe
the registry patch I used didn't work, so I edited the registry to change
the Persistent Handler to {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}, the text
filter. Today I checked back under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asp and noticed that
the Persistent Hander had been changed back to
{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}. Any idea how or why that happens?

Clark,
By any chance, does "<%" denote a comment entry (like REM). If it is a
comment entry, the NLHTML filter (the CLSID you used initially) ignores that
commented area in the ASP file. Apart from this, sorry no idea why this
occurs

Ramesh,
I'm pretty sure I've found the problem now. There's a filter somewhere
which is preventing searches of anything between <% and %>. I created two
files:
FILE1.ASP
set rsESL = createobject("adodb.recordSet")
rsESL.open listSQL, Application("pm_dbconstring")
FILE2.ASP
<%
set rsESL = createobject("adodb.recordSet")
rsESL.open listSQL, Application("pm_dbconstring")
%>
Any of the character strings I search for are found in FILE1 and none in
FILE2. How can I fix that?
This is also consistent with what I reported earlier, but mistakenly
interpreted as a directory level problem. The string I was searching for
earlier sometimes appears in html and other times in vbscript.

Clark,
Does it happen with Indexing Service turned Off as well?

Ramesh,
I applied the plain text filter and that didn't work either.
This problem appears to have something to do with the levels of the
directory tree. I tried searching for a particular string, and that string
was found in asp files that were 3 levels down in the folder I specified for
the search. However, asp files 5 levels down which contain that same
character string were not listed.

Hi Clark,
Make sure that the search keyword is not a comment entry in the ASP file.
This filter ignores text that is contained in comments in an HTML file. If
not, try using the plain text filter {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb},
rather than {eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}. But, always backup the
appropriate registry key before modifying.

Ramesh,
I tried both of these fixes. They both were applied successfully. However,
Search still won't find text in .asp files.

Clark,
Type the command in RUN box. This adds the PersistentHandler for ..asp files
automatically.
REGSVR32 NLHTML
If not, create and apply the REG fix. From Alex Nichol.
Make the following, after - - start and before - - end into a file by
cut/paste
to NotePad. Don't let lines wrap around, and make sure there is a blank
line at the end. Save as "Patch.reg" then right-click on this file and
take Merge to enter it into the registry.
- - start
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asp]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asp\aspfile\ShellNew]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asp\PersistentHandler]
@="{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}"

Still won't work.
