How To Make Windows 7 Always Search Inside File Contents

Are you unable to find text inside documents using Windows 7’s Search? By default Windows 7 searches inside Files only when they are located in Indexed Locations. The default indexed locations include Libraries, Start Menu, User folders, Internet Explorer History and Windows Sticky Notes. So if you are searching for text inside files which are present in non-indexed folders such as your USB Flash drive or an External hard drive, you will not get the desired results. You can configure Windows 7 to always search inside contents of files no matter where they are located.
Here are the steps to do this:
1. Open Folder and Search Options from Organize tab of Windows Explorer’s toolbar.

2. In the Search tab, select Always search file names and contents in the section titled What to search.
