Yup,
It's a known issue. I believe it's something to do with XP by default
only looking for text type files with extensions that it knows about.
I believe there may be ways to get it to find pas files etc, although I
reckon you're better off with Google Desktop Search and "Larry's Any
Text File

Thats just nasty!

I specifically added the .pas file extension somewhere but I don't know
where now. I can search for text in .pas files using F3, but I don't use
the indexing service. I have found that when this is enabled, it doesn't
include files that have not been changed recently or not indexed, which is

There is a "not" that should not be there regarding indexing.
"it doesn't include files that have changed recently"
The Delphi installer should really do this as a matter of course.
1. Starting Regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pas
3. add a subkey called PersistentHandler
4. change its default
I have a free giveaway search too

It doesn't do regular searches, but it can search folders recursively and
open an editor (at the actual text location if its command line options can
do that - eg I have that set up for EditPlus). Default start
