Searching for files containing "#if"

W

WRITETOgregAT

Hello. I am using Windows Explorer's feature "search for files and
folders" in order to find files that contain a text string. The problem
is, the text I want to search for is "#if". When I do this, Windows
replies, "The Index Service query cannot be completed successfully
because the volume(s) you have specified are not indexed." Obviously
"#" has some special code meaning. How can I just search for the string
"#if"?
