How can I search for word or phrase in a file?
In XP I had my Search Behaviour set to Advanced so I could search for a word
or phrase in a file .. something I may use many times a day For the life of me I can't find a substitute or a work-around in Vista. Is there a way? Also does anybody know how to retain the size of Windows Explorer; in XP holding down the Ctrl key as I clicked the X used to work, but not in Vista.

Is there a way? I find that when I type whatever it is I'm looking for within a document into the 'Start Search' entry box it is found without having to use the Search function. Click on the Orb and enter the text you're looking for. If it isn't found you may need to add the file's location as an indexed location. Also does anybody know how to retain the size of Windows Explorer; in XP holding down the Ctrl key as I clicked the X used to work, but not in Vista. I can resize and when I click on the red X the window will have the same size and location the next time I open it.

WindowsKey+F
Doesn't matter if you are in the middle of something else at the time. Surround a phrase with DOUBLE quotes (single doesn't work). In Details View sort results by date, name, type or whatever clicking column header.
