search will not locate file

C

Cheryl G.

I have a folder full of excel files. I am trying to locate portions of the file by the search function. I place the Folder name in the Locate in box and type in a portion of the containing text. My problem is that it does not seem to go through the search function and immediately comes up with this response: "Search is complete. There are no results to display." However, I can manually open the file and folders within, but is time consuming to find the location of the file that I need. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this folder so that it will search by containing text. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me directly. Thank you. Cheryl

Change the Lookin field. If you files are in the Folder
C:\Cheryl then type this in the Lookin Field. Type the
text and the FGile name in the File NAme field and the
Containing Text field.

Hopefully this will work
