Raise the Win8 search for file content Raiders

  

When users upgrade from WinXP system to Win8, you will find that when WinXP uses the "Search" function, you can use the contents of the file as a keyword to search, but in the In Win8, when you search for the keyword in the "Search" box, sometimes you can search for the file name and file content at the same time, sometimes when searching for files on the USB flash drive, only the file name is searched. What is going on here? The reason is very simple, it 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 “File Explorer found in the upper left corner of the screen&rdquo ;, open the Windows “ File Explorer & rdquo; window.

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

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

Win8's search function defaults to searching for filenames and content in indexed locations; in the absence of an index, only filenames are searched. Although most files on the computer are 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!
