Tom,
START | FIND | FILES or FOLDERS
In the Name & Location tab enter the disk(s) to search in
the Look in box (leave Named empty)
Then, select the Advanced Tab and enter the text you
want to search for in the Containing Text: box. Press
Find Now button.
Be prepared to wait depending upon the number and size
of the disks you choose to search.
I hope this what you are looking for.
