I want to search for the existance of a string in a file.

The search folder is "MyWebs" under the MyDocuments
folder.

I have several files that I know of that have the string
in them. They are htm and asp file. I just want them
listed so they are easy to peruse, so I do a search on
the MyWeb folder.

The string I am looking for is "Recordset".

I have customized the search application to look in all
files and to not be case sensitive and to not use
indexing and to not use the animated character and to not
show baloon tips.

Even though I KNOW that the string exists the search
engine DOES NOT find any reference to them.

What is going on?
How do I get the search engine to work propoerly?

Thank you, Michael Bowling
