| | Search context menu + Search within files. Is there a way to get Windows 7 file explorer to provide me with a right click context menu while I right click on a folder and let me search within that folder, specifically within files within that folder? I don’t like the windows indexing stuff. I just want to do what I did in XP. Right click, search, type in the ‘Search within files’ text box the text I wanted to find and off it went for 20 mins going thoroughly through each one and providing a nice list of what files had the text within them. Is this possible, either within windows 7 itself or with a 3rd party program? |

| | The search box next to the address bar (CTRL + F gives it focus) works on the current folder you reside in. You can also limit the scope directly in the search query. jquery path:concepts Would find everything that match "jquery" that resides in a folder named "concepts" |
