How search for contents in files?

[Rick]

When I'm doing a file search, I often want to search for a file that
contains a certain text string. How do I do that? (The string is not a
tag.) I don't see that option in Advanced Search as it is in XP. Thanks.

Search does this by default. If you are not finding the correct files then
you need to check your indexing options in Control Panel and see exactly
what paths it's searching through and then add the paths you require.
