How to search for .ico files in Windows?
I write on behalf of a client.
She has problems using the search feature in Windows 7. She tries to find its system for all types of files .ico, but has so far only not successful. The file type is not listed as a file type supported for Windows Search, and when she tried several search commands to find on his PC, nothing relevant comes up.
Is there an order of specific research, it should use or an another workaround to find the types it needs?
Thank you very much!
I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

Search for the file Explorer: Windows 7
I know that I am probably post again a question has been asked hundreds of times before... But the research question of Windows 7 even been taken down like a real fault? There is no other way I can see to ask this question outside not be re-directed to a forum looking for answers, then see frustration of countless other users, so I put back on with a new post.
I wrote a test and training post to possibly one of the largest universities in the United Kingdom and my role of testing software noting flaws and then decide whether it should be rolled out and then reap the benefits of its use.
All other packages had small defects but none of which has a few advantages outweigh
I literally user acceptance tested search to death and read dozens of user help guides on indexing. The more generic computer users is the admin rights/time/support or the know how to do that on a large number of readers huge network.
In short, I guess the question I ask is when users want to find a file by name, why they are not getting the results they are looking for and if it is a question of indexation why?
Help me to Microsoft, you're my only hope.
Search has changed over the years. Modern versions of Windows have so many files that the default search will filter all files it think users don't want to see. It works fine most of the time, but if a user starts using non-standard file types can cause an immense amount of frustration.
It is always nice to have alternatives to the risk of re - direct you once again here is even more:

How to search for a Word document in Windows 8?
I'm stumbling around Windows 8 that came pre-loaded on my new laptop. I ordered Windows and Excel to be included in the package. I saved a number of documents in Word, and now I need to get these documents for a particular. I looked on the Internet and found a lot of no-help, that is to say, 'go in search of a file'. Excuse me, but if I could find searching a file, I could probably find out how to search for the file, Huh? Thus,.
Could someone please help me with: how to find a Word document (1) and (2) where is the infamous "search"?
I did the thing 'sweep to the right side of the screen"to get those things shadow to appear, and click on the magnifying glass (which I think the engineers forgot to change when they changed everything!) and if I wanted to search for apps, I'd be in great shape. But his files I'm looking for, Word documents. The designers of this 'new' version improved - well, new, in all cases seem to have forgotten those of use who use computers for productive work and not socialize or play games.
Sorry for the hike and whining, but I'm very frustrated that the tasks that were once very simple are now extremely difficult to fill.
It's pretty easy, at the beginning screen just type the name of your document and right it will bring the search screen and you select files (files, settings, Apps). Take a look at:

How can I search in Windows 7 for all files not containing a speific (_) character in the file?
I have two files with about 50 000 files in each folder. There are many copies of the same file (only one folder contains photos, the other file has data files. In the two files copies have the same name as the original file, for example IMG01, but identified for example IMG01_1, IMG01_2, etc..)
I would like to find all files that DO NOT have a _ in them. Can I do this? How?
Or I have to search for all files that have a _ by searching for * _ *? Delete these files?
I tried, but program trotted for 2 hours. Just take a while?
I thought that if I could search only files without the _ it would be more effective.
Less than 20% of the files in each folder have not a _ in them.
You should be able to use a? or * to replace a number of characters that are either unique or variable. * book would find both book and facebook, or? ook would only book.
Anyway, there's probably not a way to identify the files corrupted by a search.

How to search for a particular word by selecting multiple text files
Hello
I have hundreads of text files and I need to search a particular word in these bunch of txt files.
How do so by selecting all files and search for the word. I do not want to open each file and search for the word.
I use Windows 7 here.
Please suggest.
Thank you...
Anand
I don't think that we are able to select the files to search, but what you can do, is have all files in a folder that is searched for. Open a window for the folder that contains the files and use the Windows search box in the upper right of this window. If you are looking for 'bread', enter:
content: bread
At the same time, if you want to restrict the search to the txt files, then enter
content: bread ext:txt

How to search for a specific file on the computer?
Original title: How can I search for a file by name only. For example, to prevent the display of other files that contain the same text. This was easy to do under XP.
For example, I need to find FILES named xyz*.mdl. I need to filter all files that CONTAIN "xyz*.mdl" but are note NAMED "xyz*.mdl".
This was easy in XP, but not in "7".
Help, please.
Thank you
Doug
You can use the syntax:
filename:xyz * .mdl
Note that file:xyz*.mdl is equivalent to filename:xyz * .mdl, but an additional symbol ~ is necessary with the equivalent of the so-called name: ~ xyz * .mdl to properly manage the wildcard character. (file name, file and the name are supposed to be the same)
