advanced search options
Hello there,I've noticed by looking through the forum that it seems advanced search isn't in windows 7. The one filter I used a lot was the option to search within documents. Namely, if I have a folder full of excel files, I can search for a term within the document. How do I do this in windows 7? I've seen posts about using different syntax to search and being able to find this in the help and support menu. However, I can't seem to find these syntax commands in help. Anyone have any suggestions?

atset1532,It will do that already. Derosnec's second link is most handy first, then the other one later.If I open explorer to a folder I know has Excel documents in it and type in the search box for a word I know is in several of those documents but not in the name... they show right up. Along with a Word document that is in a subfolder to that folder.
