Windows 10: Windows 10 not searching inside txt files

Hi,


Windows 10 is not searching inside txt files anymore.

How can I resolve this?


[Note: I had a similar issue with Windows 10 not searching inside pdf files and was able to resolve that thanks to this article:

All the search settings are ok. Index rebuilding is done.


Thanks for helping me out!

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.

 

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.

 

Find a word in a lot txt files

Or you can just use the Windows search function. Look under indexing options > advanced > file types > and have windows index file contents for txt files.
