I'm using Copernic Desktop Search (http://www.copernic.com).

It's free and does full indexing/searching of the file types listed below.

worksheets), WordPerfect documents, Adobe Acrobat documents, HTML pages,
Text files/RTF, and ASP, .C, .CPP, .CS, .CSV, .H, .INC, .INI, JAVA, .PAS,
.XML, .XSL documents. Certain file properties are indexed by default for
these additional text files: GZ, HLP, RAR, SWF, TAR, VSD.
Emails: Outlook 2000/XP/2003, Outlook Express 5.x/6.x, Eudora 5.0 and
Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 emails and attachments. Music: Indexing metadata of
iTunes, MP3, OGG, WMA and WAV music files. Pictures: Indexing metadata of
EXIF, JPEG, GIF picture files. Videos: Indexing metadata of MPEG, QuickTime
and Windows Media video files.
Favorites/Bookmarks: The browser favorites or bookmarks (Internet Explorer,
Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla or Netscape 6x./7.x/8.x). History: The browser
history (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla or Netscape 6x./7.x).
