We follow the same procedure that Matt outlined for our
workstation setup under Windows XP, i.e. not turning on Index Server but
configuring the search in that manner and telling it to search all file types
(files with unknown extensions).
I just tested added .SMD as "text" file type in Explorer
options and it didn't work. As the article states, creating the persistent
handler key is the trick; it also maps the .SMD as a text file type. And
yes, I did have to log out and back in again, but it will be effective for all
users on that box.
I've attached the registry extract for
that.

Marc,
This is on my list of standard things to modify on any
2003 installation. Here's how you fix it to search within any
file:

I
suggest using Method 2:
1. Click Start, and then click Search (or
point to Search, and then click For Files or
Folders).
2. Click Change preferences, and then click
With Indexing Service (for faster local searches).
3.
Click Change Indexing Service Settings (Advanced). Note that you do not have
to turn on the Index service.
4. On the toolbar, click
Show/Hide Console Tree.
5. In the left pane,
right-click Indexing Service on Local Machine, and then click
Properties.
6. On the Generation tab, click to select
the Index files with unknown extensions check box, and then click
OK.
7. Close the Indexing Service
console.
Alternatively you can just enter a single registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions
REG_DWORD

The 2003 Search companion in Sever 2003 sucks - I just moved from a 2000
sever. Does anyone know how to modify its default setting?
When I used to dig through held e-mails on the 2000 server I would use it to
find and delete e-mail by using the "containing text" field. So when I saw
the e-mail was from somespammer.com I would search the spam folder for that
and delete all the *smd files containing that text.
NOW when I do the same search I get NO results. When I change the file
extension to .txt instead of .smd the search then finds all the files. So
M$ decided unless it is a file type in KNOWS it isn't going to bother
searching for my string. I tried to create .SMD as a new file type, and a
text file to no avail.
Any suggestions about this???
