I am trying to search for a file on my drive containing
the text @1C

When not using quotes, I am getting the message The Index
Service Queary cannot be completed successfully because
the volume(s) you have specified are not indexed.

When using quotes, I get no results, yet I know a file
exists with the data.

Save the following as FindIt.bat, in a folder that is in your path:

@echo off
if {%3}=={} @echo Syntax: FindIt Path mask "String"&goto :EOF
if not exist %1 @echo Path Not Found: FindIt %1 %2 %3&goto :EOF
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set folder=%1
set mask=%2
set string=%3
if exist findit.log del /q findit.log
set fnd=N#*
call :quiet>>nul 2>>&1
endlocal
goto :EOF
:quiet
for /R %folder% %%a in (%mask%) do (
set file=%%a
for /f "Tokens=*" %%b in ('type "%%a"^|findstr /i /L /c:%string%') do (
if /i "!fnd!" NEQ "%%a" @echo %%a>>findit.log
set fnd=%%a
)
)


Open a CMD.EXE window.

Type
FindIt C:\ *.* "@1C"

where C:\ is the begining of your search and *.* is the mask. and the string,
@1C, must be quoted. If you knew it was in a text file, in the My Documents
folder, then:

FindIt "%UserProfile%\My Documents" *.txt "@1C"

The results are recorded in a FindIt.log file in the current folder of the CMD
window.

This on works better:

@echo off
if {%3}=={} @echo Syntax: FindIt Path mask "String"&goto :EOF
if not exist %1 @echo Path Not Found: FindIt %1 %2 %3&goto :EOF
setlocal
set folder=%1
set mask=%2
set string=%3
if exist "%TEMP%\findit.log" del /q "%TEMP%\findit.log"
call :quiet>>nul 2>>&1
if exist "%TEMP%\findit.log" type "%TEMP%\findit.log"
if exist "%TEMP%\findit.log" del /q "%TEMP%\findit.log"
endlocal
goto :EOF
:quiet
for /R %folder% %%a in (%mask%) do (
for /f "Tokens=*" %%b in ('findstr /i /L /M /c:%string% "%%a"') do (
@echo %%a>>"%TEMP%\findit.log"
)
)
