Windows Search & ASP Script

[clarkmurray]

Windows Search will not find any text string in an ASP file between the <% and %> tags.

I have changed my configuration as specified in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 309173 which basically says to turn on "Index files with unknown extensions", but it still won't work. I am running Windows XP V 2002 SP 1.

There must be a filter somewhere that controls this.

Hello clarkmurray,

Just to make sure my understanding of the article (q309173) you referred to is as good as you do, inspect the registry and/or import the following .reg file to it. This is pertaining to the so-called Method 2 that you're using.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex]
"FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions"=dword:00000001

I did check this registry key, and "FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions" is set to 1.
