From: Rainer on 7 Feb 2010 06:38 Hello NG, I am struggling with the windows 7 search. I somehow can't figure out how to search for a <file> containing <text> within the windows explorer. I moved from XP to W7 a few month ago and in XP this is easy so I assume it should be possible in W7 too, right? Regards Rainer
From: RCan on 7 Feb 2010 08:30 Hi Rainer, a search of the files / folders which are indexed can be started when you type your keyphrase into the start menu. More informations around the builtin windows search can be found here -> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-search PS : Not all files/folders are out-of-the-box fulltext indexed therefore possibly you need to customize that feature for your needs -> Extending the Windows Search Index http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb318649(VS.85).aspx Regards Ramazan "Rainer" <Rainer(a)newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:eBfNXo#pKHA.1556(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello NG, > > I am struggling with the windows 7 search. > I somehow can't figure out how to search for a <file> containing <text> > within the windows explorer. > > I moved from XP to W7 a few month ago and in XP this is easy so I assume > it should be possible in W7 too, right? > > Regards > Rainer
From: Rainer on 7 Feb 2010 11:08 Hello Ramazan, thanks for you help. I tried your first link, but that did not tell me any new things. Your second link seems to require programming knowledge. Isn't there a "simple" way to search in all files of a folder which contain a specific expression? Where did the "old" xp search assistent go?

From: RCan on 7 Feb 2010 13:47 Hi Rainer, :-) - of course here we go.... Control Panel -> (Switch to classic view) Indexing Options -> Advanced (Switch to File Types) : How this file should be indexed ? "Index Properties Only" or "Index Properties and File Contents" Here you can now specify which file types should be fulltext indexed. Hope that helps Regards Ramazan "Rainer" <Rainer(a)newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:u2rL4#AqKHA.4836(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello Ramazan, > > thanks for you help. > I tried your first link, but that did not tell me any new things. > Your second link seems to require programming knowledge. > > Isn't there a "simple" way to search in all files of a folder which > contain a specific expression?

Hi Rainer As soon as you click on Start, begin typing your search item. I have been using every version of windows since Win 3 and have never come across anything as fast as this.
