search unicode docs from Windows Explorer

[Joe]

Message: I am trying to use the XP Windows Explorer search function. I am
trying to search documents, including Microsoft Outlook email documents
(.msg) that I copied from Outlook to My Documents directory. Windows
Explorer "Search" can not find simple strings that are contained in the
documents.
I looked at the document format. It seems that these documents are using
Unicode format.
Mr Gates, Please fix. All I want is to search the Unicode documents for
Ascii text. I am looking for the document that contains the name "Fooks" for
example.
Your search function should translate the Unicode to Ascii for searching
purposes.
