Windows 7 is useless; they\u2019ve even included spam messages in here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I still hear from old-timers who cluck-cluck-cluck that even DOS did it better.<\/p>\n<p>Typing text into the Windows 7 search box is a bit like sticking a straw into an open fire hydrant. As I recommended in Part 1, if you have any idea where the text you seek may be located, you\u2019re far better off going to that location (with Windows Explorer, say, or Outlook, or Live Mail) and starting the search from that folder or one above it. Yes, Windows indexes spam messages \u2014 which is to say, mail in your Junk Mail folder \u2014 and it\u2019ll bring up the junk if you give it enough time. Nothing you can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>What if you\u2019re just looking for a filename? Not so long ago, that\u2019s all you could look for. Though the rules and syntax are a bit strange, it\u2019s possible \u2014 even relatively easy \u2014 in Windows 7.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you want to find file names that contain the text string \u201csecret.\u201d You use the symbols ~= like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>system.filename:~=\u201dsecret\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That will match files with names such as Windows Secrets.doc and MySecret.html.<\/p>\n<p>To look for files with names that begin with a specific piece of text, use the ~ symbols. For example:<\/p>\n<p><strong>system.filename:~<\"secret\"<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That will match Secrets.com but not SomeSecret.xls.<\/p>\n<p><a
