    Unable to search .py files using search in file explorer


    Hi, I added py to list of file types searched in advanced under File tab on Indexing Options. However, when I search for specific text I know is contained in python files, they are not returned in the search results. That same text in txt files is found. Indexing was completed after adding py to this list of files to be searched.I have changed the search option to file and contents.I have tried this on my main PC and on a fresh install of windows in a virtualbox.I have seen other posts also commenting on this problem.Please tell me how to fix this or if its not possible then why not?

    :)
