There is a way to search files without looking inside compressed files 
with Servant Salamander.

While you have the folder you want to search displayed click on:
Commands, Find Files and Directories, Enter what you want to search 
for in Named:, Advanced, Remove the check mark at Compressed, 
OK, Find now

You can get it here:

The free version will do this although I don't think anyone should be 
without the paid version.  

Enjoy,
