searching without including the filename

[Brian Beck]

Is it possible in Windows XP to search the files in a folder for specific
text, for example "March", but to have Windows ignore the filename when
searching? My problem is that I'm searching for files that contain the word
"March", but almost all of the files I am searching have the word "March" in
the filename and thus Windows keeps returning those files as valid matches,
even if the file itself does not contain the word "March."

I know you can specify that windows ONLY look at the filename and not search
the contents of the file, but I can't seem to find an option for doing the
opposite.

Any ideas?

Try:

Setting filename field to: *.*
Setting text search for: March
