RE: [MiKTeX] Can't search for .tex files under Windows XP

[Pierre B. <pie...@bl...>]

This problem is well known. You can add the .tex extension in the =
indexing
of windows XP under administration tools. I have done this and it works.

But now I discover the free Wilbur   http://wilbur.redtree.com/  it is =
very
fast if you generate an index for .TEX files on the root of your tex =
files
directories and you see a part of the text so you can choose without =
opening
them in winedt. With a double clic you open the file in winedt.

Objet=A0: [MiKTeX] Can't search for .tex files under Windows XP

When my trusty old Windows 98-based laptop died in February, I switched =
to
one running Windows XP.  I installed MikTex 2.3, and then brought over =
my
WinEdt installation and .tex files from backup.

Recently I discovered that I can't use the Windows XP "Search" facility =
to
locate .tex files containing a particular "word or phrase".  It will =
find
them by extension, if I just search for "*.tex" as the name, but the =
moment
I ask it to restrict to those files containing a particular word, the =
search
comes up empty.

There are postings at various Windows XP newsgroups concerning this kind =
of
failure.  Apparently Windows XP won't support searching based on "word =
or
phrase" unless certain handlers are installed for the filetype.

I'm surprised that I haven't heard about this problem, if it really is a
problem when using MikTex (and WinEdt) under Windows XP.

Does anyone have any insights?  I have the system set up to use WinEdt =
in
opening files with the extension .tex.  Perhaps I did something
inappropriate in setting up this file type?
