Why Windows 8 can't search for file content

When you upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8, you will find that when you use the "Search" function in Windows XP, you can use the contents of the file as a keyword to search, but in In Windows 8, 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, for example, when searching for files in U disk, only the file name is searched.

What's the matter? In fact, this is the default search option for Windows 8. At the same time, Windows 8 always searches for the file name and content at the same time:

1. Point the mouse pointer at the screen. In the lower right or upper right corner, then click the "Search" super button.

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.

Originally, the Windows 8 search function defaults to searching for file names and content in indexed locations; in the absence of indexing, only search for filenames. Although most files on the computer are automatically indexed,

but there are still some missing fish, such as temporary external mobile storage devices.

Of course, after you have made the above settings, when you type a keyword in the search box of Windows 8, you will always find the file name and find the contents of the file at the same time.
