How do you search within files?

Answer 1

If you are running Windows XP: Do a right mouse click on the "Start" Button on screen and then select "Search". Alternately do a left click on "Start": button and then click on "Search" button. After this a window opens where you can give parameters based in the search box on which you can do a file search (like file name, size, time modified, file location etc.).

In Windows Vista - When you click on the circular start button (on left bottom corner), a search box is shown just above the button on which you clicked (it displays "Start Search". You can enter text in this box for search.

A program, file, or folder will appear as a search result if:

# Any word in its title matches or begins with your search term. # Any text in the actual contents of the file-such as the text in a word-processing document-matches or begins with your search term. # Any word in a property of the file, such as the author, matches or begins with your search term. - Neeraj Sharma
