    In windows 7 operating system you can search a word or a phrase in a file in search box. If you want to search any word in a folder like “spam ” then it may contain in any file extension .txt, or .doc. you’ll find your word if it is present in the folder file. If you want to search a particular word in a file then also it can find it very easily. You just have to enter a word in a search box of windows 7 and search box will find that word or phrase which you have mention in the search box. Same way you can find the file in a folder. You have to mention the file name in the search box, if you remember the extension then type that extension you’ll find it.

    For searching any word or phrase in the file or folder you can directly go to a start button of your computer and type search on the search box. Then selec t ”change how windows searches”. And then hit advanced. Select the tab of “file tab”. You must make sure first the content or name of the file you want to search in the search box should have file extension contain in a list. After selecting file tab you have to select ok button and close all the dialog box. If you still don’t understand how to search then you can take help of the support center which is present on windows.

    You can search a word or phrase of a file in windows 7. You have to click on the start button of the window then type the search in search box, Then selec t ”change how windows searches”. And then hit advanced. Select the tab of “file tab”. It will search content of a file in the indexed location. That means you have to mention the content of a file in indexed location and in non indexed location mention the only the file name so the windows will give you a proper search result. The search result in windows xp and windows 7 are slightly different. You can easily search on windows 7.
