search containing not working

[Jamie Kitson]

Hi,

I think there is a way to make windows search "files
containing" of unknown extensions but I can't remember
how, can someone remind me please?

Thanks, Jamie

If I understand you correctly, then you have only to replace the extension
with '*' (without the quotes).
Said also applies to unknown filename, ie;

name.* will find everything called 'name', whatever it's extension.

*.txt will find all files with extension 'txt'

*.* will find every file.
