When I do a search on my windows 2000 pc for "Containing Text" in
Search files and folders, I get results accurately.
However when I try the same thing in same folder on windows XP pro by
"A word or phrase in the file", I get no results....
Am i missing something? How am i suppose to use windows search in XP
pro?

Thanks,

Sanna

Hello Sanna,

Does this do it?

Open Search
In the 'What do you want to search for?' window, click 'Documents'.
Click the 'Use Advanced Search Options' button.
Type the word or phrase into the 'A word or phrase in the document'
dialog box.
Limit the scope of the search by clicking on the browse button at the
bottom.
