Google Desktop Search and R script files

If you're on Windows switch to
http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/index.html ,
last time I looked it was quite a lot better than Google Desktop Search.

Subject: [R] Google Desktop Search and R script files

I want to be able to search my saved R script files on my hard drive.
Thankfully the files are all saved with the .R filename
extension which
means that "filetype:R" in the Google Desktop Search (GDS)
box limits the
search to those files. Unfortunately if I put any other term
in the search
box (for example, "hist" to find scripts where I have created
a histogram)
then GDS does not find it. It only seems to index based on
the filename and
not on the contents of the file. So for instance, if I had a
file called
HistAnalysis.R then the search "filetype:R hist" would find it.

Google web based search is working correctly (As somebody pointed out
previously). I am only having the problem with GDS. Has
anyone succeeded
with what I am attempting to do.
