In Windows Explorer, I search through source code subdirectories for
files of type *.vb containing the word Public. Windows Explorer Search
says it can find no such files, even though there are many such files.
What is up?

it. Here is the explanation and the fix:

Using the "A word or phrase in the file" search criterion may not work
