What is the best way to search for a word withing several word documents?

November 16, 2009 - 1:08 am 4 Comments

Hello,

I want to search for a word within the word documents in a directory. I use Windows Vista and Office 2007. I tried the Windows Explorer search engine but it didn’t word (although I had explicitly chosen the option that it should search within the content of the file and not only the names). For example, Adobe Reader has a beautiful search engine that allows one to search all the pdfs in a certain directory. Is there something similar for Word? Thank you.

You have to setup Desktop search and then filter files to *.doc and keyword.
