Make sure the following are checked under "Advanced Options":
Search System Folders
Search Hidden Files and Folders
Search SubFolders
If you still can't find them, then (What I typically do normally), use the cmd prompt to hunt for those files, in question......

OP
checked all the "Advanced Options" you specified. But no luck!!
I think the problem is with the Win2K3 server registry, but not sure. Can anyone please confirm?

Maybe this registry tweak will do it for ya:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \ContentIndex]
FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions = 1 (Default = 0)
Configure the file search to include all files
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \ContentIndex]
FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions = 1 (Default = 0)
