1.  open regedit

2.  go hkey_classes_root\.sql

3.  add new key persistenthandler

4.  set default value key {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}

 

i believe came across (or similar) problem few years ago. think in xp figure indexing service include specified file extensions in searches (i haven't looked on w2k8, still may be able configure indexing service). i found complex , wrote own vbscript program search files contain specified string. later found findstr command line utility. checked windows server 2008 r2 machine , still available. there @ command console prompt, although syntax bit difficult. if helps, vbscript program (which use constantly) linked here:
