Many (most?) of you may have run into the problem where you use Windows Explorer to search a file for text the YOU KNOW IS IN THERE BUT $%^@# WINDOWS CAN'T FIND IT - grrrrrrr
Here is how you get it to do that, straight from Microsoft (method 2):
1. | Click Start, and then click Search (or point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders). |
2. | Click Change preferences, and then click With Indexing Service (for faster local searches). |
3. | Click Change Indexing Service Settings (Advanced). Note that you do not have to turn on the Index service. |
4. | On the toolbar, click Show/Hide Console Tree. |
5. | In the left pane, right-click Indexing Service on Local Machine, and then click Properties. |
6. | On the Generation tab, click to select the Index files with unknown extensions check box, and then click OK. |
7. | Close the Indexing Service console. |
Also - I have just installed Google Desktop because that is supposed to do it 'out of the box' and I like Google
