Unreliable XP searching

    At home I use win2k and that's fine.

    But 2 days a week I work for a large corporate where winXP is the order of the day.

    I was looking through some log files on a Unix machine and knew that one of the files had the content I needed but I'm not too good with Unix so I ftp'd the 156 files off and used the standard windows explorer search to try to find them. No files found. Odd. I extended the search so it included hidden files too.

    So I opened the 156 files up in EditPad Pro (I use the free version) and did a search all documents. It found the file!

    Anyone else had problems with searches on Windows. First time I've double checked the results!
