    Allegedly if the index service is running then a search will include file contents as well as filenames. Can't test it as not on a Windows 7 pc at the moment.

    I use 'Agent Ransack
    as I've found the windows search missing some items

    Do yourself a favour and download Google Desktop. I disable the sidebar and just use the taskbar integrated search box. I don't even have a start button on my taskbar anymore…I just use the google search to open docs and apps etc…
