Windows 7 - a search in a folder doesn't look into file contents
let me explain the problem
I have a folder and there are few ".docx" files in it. When I search, using the top( right ) box; it just doesn't work. For a try, I copied a word from one of the .docx file and pasted in search box, surprisingly it was not searched.
Can anyone offer a solution

Providing the location is indexed, you can search in Windows Explorer for a specific phrase by typing content: followed by your phrase enclosed in double quotes. This will produce a list of files matching the criterion.

Hi
Maybe you need Microsoft's Office 2010 Filter Pack containing the IFilters that allow to index content of specific file types, letting you search for content in those files.
