I've wondered about this, too, since Windows 7 search hasn't been picking up my .docx files. I think I just found the answer at the following webpage. Note that once you change your search settings, the system goes through what looks like a lengthy indexing process, which I didn't pick up on right away. It continues as I write this message, although I'm told that by working on the computer, I'm slowing it down. Let's hope this works: http://www.howtogeek.com/99406/how-to-search-for-text-inside-of-any-file-using-windows-search/

I hope this makes sense. I tried this, and all I got was searches on the web. Thanks.
