Windows Search only works on file extensions that it has search filters 
defined for.  This is why you can search within Word / Excel (and many 
other binary format) documents as if they were text.  I'm sure there's 
some way (aside from writing a custom search filter) to get Windows 
Search to treat '.d' files as text.

I'd say the search idea was good, but should've defaulted to searching 
unknown files as UTF-8 encoded text just for a sensible default that 
could be worked around.
