Windows 10: Search function for external memory card doesn't find search terms within documents

On my laptop I store most of my files on an external memory card. The issue is as follows: When I perform a windows search for a keyword in documents on my internal hard drive, it finds all files that contain this word anywhere in the document, but when I perform the search on my external memory card it only finds files that contain the keyword in the file name, not the whole document. I have tried many fixes including the following:1. Ensuring the external drive is included in indexing locations2. Clicking on "Index Properties and File Contents" in indexing options3. Rebuilding index4. Ensuri

System Spec search function.

I think it would be a really cool idea if we could search members of this forum and find out who has similar setups. Fellow members could connect with each other and figure out how close their configurations/voltages/temps are in reference to stock clocks or overclocks. And who better than someone who owns exactly what you have can give suggestions on how to fine tune their hardware?

A small search bar designated in the system spec section wouldn't be a bad place for it. If that's not feasible, then it could very well go into the "Advanced Search" section and have the search go by "System Specs" to have it filter out all who has a particular CPU or GPU. I think it would be a good alternative or should I say complimentary to using our regular search, which I usually find frustrating having to scroll through tens if not hundreds of threads to find what I want. What do you guys think?

"Search Entire Posts"
"Search Titles Only"
"Search System Specs"

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.

Search Question

Which is why I suggested he try there instead. TPU is too limited of a user base to search here alone for anything gaming related.
