    Windows Search not searching contents for certain extensions


    Been looking for this for several days.I have a couple of file extensions that Window's search is not searching contents for? .kjb and .kjrIf I change the extention to .txt if finds it based on the contents of the file. I even went so far as to make a copy and change the extension of Only the copy, so both files were in the folder and it only found the .txt one but not the other.I have 'file contents' selected and 'system files' for the search.Just not sure what is wrong here, or what I need to change.

    :)
