Windows 10: Searching for specific group of words in html file in Windows Explorer

Back again to the fountain of experience. I'm trying to find "currently no text" in files in one folder. I know there to be many files containing that exact phrase in this folder. I've gone into Settings/Search Options/Advanced and checked "Index File Properties and Contents". I've verified "html" is in the list of file types, with filter identified as "HTML Filter". Then I rebuilt the (22330 items) index. Then retarted. I've tried 'content:"currently no text"' and 'keywords:"currently no text"' (ideas seen elsewhere online) in the search box. Nada. Then I went back into Explorer/View/Folder Options/Search and checked "Always search file names and contents...". Restarted. Nada. Thoughts? Think I need to rebuild the index again after having made the change in Folder Options? Windows 10 Pro v.1909

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
