  While I haven't tried Windows 7 Windows Live Desktop Search 4.0
Deluxe 64-bit or whatever its latest incarnation is called, I've often
had the Windows search functions miss stuff in plain text files.
(That does include whatever comes with Vista.)  I don't know if it's
just because Windows only considers *.TXT to be text or what, but it's
burned me more than once.  I now use FINDSTR when I actually want to
find something.
