Using Search within File Open

I am trying to search a folder of WP documents using WP 11.0.0.410 for the 
following string: "AUDTAXCALC77" and it does not find any documents 
containing that string, yet I know that one of the documents does contain 
that string.  There are other strings that are in the document, but it won't 
find when I search for those strings either.  I verified that the Match Case 
checkbox was not checked, so it is not an upper/lower case issue.

BTW, I cannot find that document using Quickfinder or the Windows Explorer 
Search tool, either.

I tried the method of creating a new document, typing an "X" and
pasting the 
other document into the new document, deleting the "X" and saving, but
this 
did not help either.

Any clues?

Is the file password protected???

No - not protected

I found that if I added the same text closer to the beginning of the file, 
it would find the file using WP File/Open, but not find it using the Windows 
Explorer search tool ????

I narrowed it down to a Para Style code followed immediately by a Highlight 
code.  If I removed either code, the search would work within WP.

It seems like anything before that code combination would be searchable, but 
anything after would not.  I did not test this thoroughly, though....

This problem needs to be escalated to WP.  We have hundreds of documents 
using highlighting and paragraph styles, and we need to have a reliable 
search capability.  How do I get this in the hands of WP developers?

Perhaps this problem does not exist on newer versions of WP ( we are using 
WP 11.0.0.410).  If so, that would be reason enough for us to move to the 
newer version.  Can someone test this on a newer version for me?  I can send 
a small wpd file with the codes that cause the problem...........
