<p>If you would like to use Windows 7 search to search for the file contents here&#8217;s how to do it:</p>
<p>For instance, we want to search for the word &#8216;test&#8217; inside the document.</p>
<p>Use <strong>Win ORB + F</strong> key to open Instant Search or use a search box in the Explorer Window while positioned in the folder or one level up where this document resides.</p>
<p>You can also use the command &#8216;<strong>content:test&#8217;</strong> in the search box to narrow down results. <!--more--></p>
<p>This will search all indexed locations for all files who&#8217;s filenames, metadata, or content have &#8220;<strong>test</strong>&#8221; in it.<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" /><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" />You can also do a more fine search using search strings like:</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say that you want to search the document that has the &#8216;<span style="color: #003366;">nik</span>&#8216; word in the filename, that it has a &#8216;<strong>max</strong>&#8216; word in the document, and that type of the document is <span style="color: #003366;">.xlsx</span>.</p>
<p>Search string for this would be:</p>
<p><strong>*nik* kind:=document type:=.xlsx content:=max</strong></p>
<p>You will be able to use Windows 7 search more effectively. Comments are welcome.</p>
