When performing a search (searching on "My Computer") the
results show the files that are INSIDE of the compressed
files instead of the entire compressed file. To me, this
is a big pain when trying to find duplicate compressed
files or just trying to find one certain compressed file.
After a search there may be 50 results of files inside
the .ZIP's or .RAR's, but there may only be 5 entire
compressed files in all. Anyone know where to change
this? Or can it be changed?
Thanks for any help...

Unregister the zipfldr.dll and cabview.dll files. NOTE: If you do this,
you will lose the ability to view the contents of zip files in folder
view and break the builtin zip utility. But it will stop the searching
inside of zip files:

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

You can reverse the steps to re-register the DLLs:
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 cabview.dll
