Searching file properties

[Guest]

I have added some file properties inforation (e.g. category, keywords,
comments) to some of my document files. But when I use Windows search it
doesn't search those properties. Suppose I put "snickle" as a comment for a
document then forget where I filed the document. How can I search my computer
for the file with a comment of "snickle"? Thanks!

Enter "snickle" in the box for "A word or phrase in the file"

I tried that and it doesn't work. Any ideas why not?

Hey!
I have tried it on my system, and now telling you...

Enter the work to be searched for (e.g. snickle) in the box, "A word or
phrase in the file"
and then click Search. You will surely get it. If this is not working in
your system, then I think that somewhere you are forgetting the exact word,
because this really works. Try to remember the exact word or even if you
enter 70-80% of the word correctly you can surely find it.

I hope I helped you!!
Good-luck...

@DocComments"comment"

Will search for any comments with the word comment in it.

@DocComments="comment"


Will search for any comments that is exactly matches comment (ie the whole comment must match)

I believe you when you say it works on your system, but it definitely does
not work on mine. I've tried it with different comments and have
double-checked my typing. It just doesn't work here. Any ideas what could be
interfering with this function?

Turn off indexing server.
