Mr. Arnold,
Thanks for setting things straight. The following example from your link is
just what I needed to look for words inside files - typing Name:Sunset
instead of just Sunset will find only files that have the word sunset in the
file name. This is really easy. Why does Microsoft make simple instructions
like this so hard to find?
