Well, if anyone cares, deep in the Advanced Options of MSN's indexing, there is a list of extensions *not* indexed. Taking "mdb" out of this got it to index the mdb's.

Well, Google won't run for some reason on my testing PC, but I just saw an article in PC World reviewing the latest crop of search apps. Right now I am testing Copernic, a freebie that lets you just add file extensions to its index - if it doesn't know what it is, it just indexes the file names.
