File Search program for Windows?

Question

I'm looking for a freeware under Windows that can perform searches for certain combination of words in documents (word, excel,...)

Example: i want to find every file that contains the words "car" and "house".

The search option of Windows isn't able to do that obviously.

Thanks for your tips ^___^

Answer 1

Google desktop is one good option for you... try it.

Answer 2

you should be able to do that kind of search in windows easily enough.
when you click on and open my computer, then click search how are you selecting the option, if you go to the section contains and type "car+house"
with the file type set to *.* then that should list all the documents listed in your system containing that combination.
remember to type it in without the speech marks but other than that you should be able to find all your documents easily enough.

how do i know past experience.
I'm now using vista beta which is good or id give you wore info as it has been a while and i forget exactly what you see on screen in XP to search.
