Windows 10: I need to search for specific words in File Explorer

I need to search for two specific words ("ocean glass").


When I search on these two words I get a plethora of hits, none of which contain my short word string. What am I doing wrong, please?

Searching a document in containing a specific word from file explorer

I have to find a document(.docx format) containing a specific word by using the search options from the file explorer.
eg: I wish to find a word containing the word "thank you" within my documents from file explorer. I have lots of document in that format on my PC. Anyone, please help me out.

Why am I unable to search the contents of my files for a specific word in Windows 10?

Hi Lyn,

To better understand the issue, please answer the following questions:

• Were you trying to search using Cortana or File Explorer?
• What specific word were you trying to search?
• Was there an error message?

Looking forward to your response.

 

File search types in the Windows 10 file explorer search (using words)

Hi

I am trying to find out how I can search for specific files from the File Explorer.

So far, I have found out that you can search for files with specific names if you type "name:<name>" into the search input field.

Were can I find a list of the verbose search commands i.e. a list of the words+column character I should use to search files by other properties than their name?

For example, what should I type if I am trying to list files by file type:

filetype:<whatever>

or

type:<whatever>

or what?

I know that there is a Search toolbar, but I would like to just type the search into the search field to speed up the process. Also, I do not wish to use Cortana et al. I'd just like to use plain simple verbose search....

Thanks
