Trying to find a document that you can't remember the file name, but know the contents of? Windows 7 does not always automatically search file contents, especially when it comes to more obscure files. This means if you type in a search term, it will search file titles, but not actually look through what is in each document. To enable either general content-searching (best for common file types) or file-specific content-searching (best for unusual file types), use one of the guides below.
