    I found this page searching for a way to make .ctp file contents be included in Dreamweaver’s search results. Putting the answer here to benefit any others who land up here for the same reason; it was make-or-break for me considering the CakePHP framework, since I’d rather pick another framework than drop Dreamweaver.

    Edit the appropriate line in C:\Documents and Settings\(USERHERE)\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\Extensions.txt so that it looks like this:

    PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files

    Exit and relaunch Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and, hey, presto! Your search results will now include .ctp file contents.

    This works great for Dreamweaver CS3 too.

    You’ll need to restart Dreamweaver for the change to take effect.
