Windows 10: Include .docx footnotes in Windows explorer search

Windows explorer search using the search box doesn't find content in footnotes in .docx. It works with endnotes.


Any way to make it work with footnotes as well?


Or is there an alternative to Windows search which is able to do it?


Best.

Search Results for Footnotes

Unfortunately, I still have the problem, and no one has answered my question.

(P.S. I'm not the only one with this problem. See: Windows 7 Search for footnote text in .Docx

If you follow through this thread, you'll see that no one provided an answer.)

 

how to search keywords inside a docx document??

Tsw88,

1. Open File explorer
2. Go to your C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents folder
3. If you know that all the relevant docx files are within, say, C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\AllMyStuff then go to that folder but otherwise just stay at C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents
4. In the upper-right of the File explorer window [inline with the folder address bar] you will see another box, an entry box, showing Search Documents {or whatever is the name of the folder you are in}.
5. Type your search term Happy in there. You do not need to use any special syntax, just enter the search term.
6. You will see the search starting to give returns even while you are still typing out Happy.
7. The search includes all subfolders.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
