Curiosity: why can't windows search find *.dmp files?
I had my first bluescreen yesterday on a particular win7 system I depend on [will be a bsod post after gathering data], and in effort to debug I used windows search [explorer] to find the .dmp files. It came up empty handed on a search of the entire C: drive. Using "Everything" i find several dozen *.dmp files [score for them!].
I'm assuming the fail is due to default search parameters obfuscating/ignoring system filetypes? hidden files? OS-related files? even though I have folder view options set to expose such?
If someone could pls enlighten me on this I would appreciate it. in the meantime my hatred for Windows Search function continues to grow. Worst feature of the entire project.
