You will find...
In Tips & Tricks

You will find...that Windows 7 has completely destroyed the ability to do contextual searches into files.
You will then set out to find a way to fix this, and find that telling Win 7 to search into non-indexed files will still not help you find what you were trying to find.
Previous versions of Windows suffered from this as well. Windows by default assumes that users are stupid and it will not display files for which it does not have an associated program / filter. But at least you could turn that off. But, not anymore...
Here are two candidates to use as workarounds
This one has more geeky options - UltraFileSearch
This one is more mainstream user friendly - PowerFileSearch

Actually find what you are looking for
In Tips & Tricks

Microsoft, in its' infinite wisdom, has decided that giving you what you asked for in a file search will just confuse you. Ok, that's the snide way of looking at it. There's a technical reasoning, but it ain't much better...
The function in File Explorer Search, to look for words and phrases in files, has changed its' default behavior in XP and forward. It no longer returns results for file types (extensions) that are unknown or do not have a system filter. For example, looking for the occurrence of a variable name in code snippets will return no results.
Use the instructions in “Method 2” in this KB article to revert the search engine indexer behavior.
