Windows 7 search fails

Name: Tella 2010-05-04 18:32

Hey everyone,
I have a folder full of word files, but if I search within the folder for some piece of text in a file, nothing comes up. I literally can copy and paste text from a file and the search still fails, even though Windows 7 can supposedly search within files.

And yes, I've already selected the relevant bits in Search options. See pic: http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/general-discussion/36239d1257949359-search-inside-files-sea.png.

Any help?

the only thing i can deduct from your pic is that that folder hasnt been indexed and so it is only searching file names, on the "what to search" part, check the second option instead and try again.
also post back with results, im interested.
