The other day I asked it to find all files in a folder containing the word "WPLogin". It found only one but I found two manually by opening each file and searching the contents.

www.ghisler.com - download Total Commander (shareware) and you'll have a far better search, plus viewing of files, plus - when you build a list of files found, the list stays there as long as you want, doesn't go away at first click.
