Not all files are searched for text keywords, like in Windows 98/2000

Well. I tried to find log files with a certain keyword in them, but the Windows XP just ignored the files with .B and .BLG extensions. When I did the same in Windows 2000 the files were located, correctly.

 

So, there is quite a difference between the Windows 2000 and XP Find Files function.

 

Is it possible to affect the way Windows XP searches the files? Or, should I rather use a different file search tool?

Thank you, very much.

 

I was able to turn the "files with unknown extension" search option on. It was a bit difficult to find it, because the Microsoft article is in English, while my Windows is in Polish. After quite a while I was able to overcome the translation related difficulties. They hid this option well, indeed.
