Q: 

Desktop search that won't display source files rendered as HTML

I've been using X1 and Microsoft Search to index my source code, but find that asp and other web files are indexed as HTML and searchable by the HTML content rather than the source code.

Is there a desktop search that lets me index my code samples as TEXT and not apply the formatting and restrict my search?

A: 

What about Google Desktop Search. BTW this is not programming related.

If it's not programming related, why are you answering it...? Though searching source code is arguably borderline.

I Voted it to close as well! We cant ask NP questions but no harm in anwering.

I think it falls under "programming tools" since I frequently re-use code or search for existing legacy code patterns that I need to refacor.
