Search is not working in Windows XP

Today I have encountered search problem in Windows XP. I was trying to find a string in a folder which contains files with extension .xhtml. But could not while file was exist inside folder with searched text.

Actually windows has some specified extension for which it do the search. If you want to add some more extension follow these step.

1) Go to Run.
2) Type REGEDDIT
2) Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
3) Expand the key and search your desired extension here.
If it is not here create one the name it like .xhtml,.xml,.bak whatever required
4) Create a subkey and name it PersistentHandler.
5) Double click on Default item in the right side pane.
6) A pop up window will, Copy paste below string in the value filed and close it

{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}

7) Reboot the system.

For an Example I have done it for .xhtml file and my registry key is

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xhtml\PersistentHandler]
@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

Or


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.[EXTENSION]\PersistentHandler]
@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

Or

You download this file and change your extension in the file it is for .xhtml currently. You can replace .xhtml with your required one. Now just double click on the file and follow the instruction.
