Stop XP searching in ZIPs

    I often need to search a large folder with lots of subfolders for a file containing a particular string. There are lots of zip files in these folders that I know the string isn't in, but XP's search tool always insists on extracting the zip files and searching everything within them. I want to know if it's possible to disable extracting the zip files and just search everything else. I'd tell it to look in *.csv, but that doesn't help because that's what all the files in the zips are anyway :(
