I cannot locate the search feature that was in previous versions of word. I
want to search all my word documents (full text search) to find a particular
string. Where did this feature go??
 
Apparently you're in Word 2007, but you don't mention which version of
Windows - always good to know because it typically makes at least a little
difference.

If you're on Vista, just type the string in the search field at the upper
left corner of the Open File dialog. Only those files that contain the
string in their name *or* content will be displayed. I'm not sure that it
works the same way if you're running on XP.
