    to search for a string inside a file just add a "content:" before the searched string.
    for example... use "content:john lennon" to search any file with the words john lennon writen inside.
    enjoy.
    PS: i have a spanish W7, so i might be wrong with the words, in spanish is "contenido:" without the quotes.

    Searching in file contents


    At one time, I recall having the ability to get the following option after conducting a search of file contents after a search of file names:

    Search again in:

    Libraries / Computer / Custom / Internet / File Contents


    This is exactly what I want to be able to do but now, after recently rebooting my computer, I do not get the option of a search again in file contents. HOW do I turn this feature back on? I do not ALWAYS want to search file contents but be selective and now that option is no longer available on my computer. I either always search contents or never - or go back and reset preferences each time I search. ARGH!!!!!

    Why does Windows have to get harder and harder to use?
