== Using Vista SP2

I have never much liked the Windows Explorer. Its file system searching,
for example, is unintuitive, if it has any proper features at all.

For example:

I want to look for HTML files under the D drive or one of its
subdirectories that contain the text (character sequence) "linear".

Is that obvious in even the "Advanced Search" interface in WinExplorer
running under Vista?

Not that I can tell.

Responses as how to do this or or the use of alternatives to file system
search & management are appreciated.
 
As long as linear is in the text of the html file. It won't find linear if
it's in html code.
