Full Version: Vista: Search files containing a specific string

hi,
I upgraded to Vista recently. However, even after Googling the problem for long time I still cannot find the solution to my problem:
Is there a way to search for all files that contain a particular string?
For example, I have a folder with many .txt files, and I want to find all files that has the string "arena". Is there a way to do this in Vista?

This feature is available in Win XP, and 2000. For some reason it's there in Vista.

Please advise...thanks.

If that doesn't help, you can download this little program, that will solve the problem:

However, it's shareware, and the full version costs almost 20 Washingtons...
