Very often we need to find files or folders on the hard drive that are exactly there, but we cannot remember exactly where. We always have at our disposal a file search in Windows 7. In order for us to be able to find any objects on our computer, it will be enough for us to enter the name of the required directory or file in the start menu. After that, your device will search for the necessary information. You will see elements that contain in your title the query you entered or parts of it.
But it is fair to say that this is not always enough to make file search in Windows 7 a success. The above steps cannot guarantee you that you will find the necessary information on your computer or laptop. There are cases when you need to find a document or documents that contain certain words in the title in the text. For example, if you are looking for the name of free computer courses, but Seven does not support this feature by default.
Let's figure out how to configure file search in Windows 7. In order to do this, you need to open your computer and on the left side click on the organizing tab, where you need to select options for folders and search.
A window of settings and settings will open in front of you, in which you need to click on the search section at the top and select the function of a constant search of files by name and content. In order for these parameters to take effect, confirm them with the OK button. If you did everything correctly, the system on your device will search for data not only by their names, but also by content. Moreover, it will not depend on what types of files in Windows 7 you are looking for.
Now let's check the work done. This must be done in order to make sure that everything will work correctly for us now. For this purpose, you need to re-open your computer, where in the search field you need to enter the necessary word, which will be contained in the searched data. As an example, let's try to find data that contains a “quality” key. The search for files in Windows 7 begins immediately after the word or phrase has been entered in the field, that is, there is no need to press or confirm anything to start it.
As soon as your machine completes the search task for the keyword you entered, below you will see a list of files in which the word “quality” entered by us will be found. You should also remember that after the end of your search you need to change the settings (those that you set to the ones that were by default). This must be done in order to reduce the search time in the future. Indeed, in those settings that we are talking about, it happens not only by the name of the data, but also by their content.
If you know approximately where the folder or file you need is located, then go to this directory in the explorer and enter the required information already there. Thus, searching for files in Windows 7 will be much faster. That is all I wanted to tell you. Use on health!
