Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows XP
SYMPTOM(s):
Can not use Microsoft's "search" feature
Can not search for text inside of Progress programs
Cannot use "search containing text" from the Search result on Windows XP when searching within Progress program files.
CAUSE:
Microsoft designed Windows XP to be faster, and therefore, eliminated the capability to search all files. There are only a number of file extensions that the Microsoft Windows XP Search function will actually check.
FIX:
To correct this 'feature,' Microsoft requires that an application register a filter for it within the registry. However, not all applications are written to do this. In that case, you will need to play with the registry.
Create a file called searchfix.reg with the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.XXXPersistentHandler]
;@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
Change the '.XXX' to the extension of the files you wish to be able to scan within. Sorry, there is no magic 'all extensions' key that will work. You may need to restart the browser, logoff, or restart Windows for the registry update to take affect.
