Thanks, Neil. In my case I was searching for the filename (not for the entry inside the file) and I have a lot of these files. I was very surprised that I saw a message (found 37 files so far), but I saw nothing in the Search results pane.

I think rather than playing with the registry I'll give the other one a shot.
