Can't search for win8 file content how to do

When a user upgrades from WinXP to Win8, you will find that when you use the "Search" function in WinXP, you can search for the contents of the file as a keyword. However, in Win8, when you search in “ ” When you type the keyword in the box, sometimes you can search for the file name and file content at the same time. Sometimes when searching for the file on the U disk, only the file name is searched. So, can the content of the win8 file be searched? The reason is very simple. This is caused by Win8's default search option settings, we only need a slight setting to solve the problem.

1. Point the mouse pointer at the bottom right or top right corner of the screen and click the "Search"; charm.

2. Click on the “application” under the search box, then type “File Explorer in the search box, click on the <quo;File Explorer found in the top left corner of the screen” ;, open the Windows
“File Explorer” window.

3. Click the “View” tab, then click “Options" to open the “Folder Options” dialog.

4. Click the "Search” tab, under "When searching for unindexed locations> under the heading, select “Always search for filenames and content (this process may take a few minutes) ” checkbox, click the “OK” button.

The search function of Win8 file content defaults to searching for file name and content in the indexed position; in the position without index, only the file name is searched. Although most files on the computer
will be automatically indexed, there are still some missing fish, such as temporary external mobile storage devices. However, after we have made the above settings, when we search for keywords in Win8's search box, we will always find the file name and find the contents of the file at the same time. Win8 users who are still worried about this issue, hurry to set the settings!
