I have a number of HTML files I've developed but for some reason XP Search refuses to find any html or Javascript commands. For example, it won't find
<body background="image004.gif"> or <body or "image004.gif" but it will find image004.gif

I've tried all the options in Search. Can anyone help please? It seems a ludricous situation.
I found a Freeware search utility which does a good job, but I'd like to know about Search.
 
Every HTML file contains the string <head> but no way can I get Search to find any of them.
If I specify Files of type ..htm* then none of these strings yields any results:
<head> head "<head>" '<head>'
The Freeware utility finds 45 files which seems about right.
The only problem with it is that it has no option to open a file directly in a text editor. You have to copy the file ID then use Open in the editor
