Can I search for files which contain a specific string in a folder if that folder is not in the search index?
So, lets say folder 'textFiles' is not in the index. I navigate to this folder in windows explorer. I type '.ini' in the search box I want to see a result list containing only 'b.txt'
FOLDER C:\textFiles\
FILE a.php
CONTENT once twice thrice mice moose monkey
FILE b.txt
CONTENT mingle muddle middle.ini banana beer
FILE c.spo
CONTENT sellotape stapler phone book
I do not have permission to add folders to the windows index and I do not have permission to install or run any executables that did not ship with the server or approved applications.
I'd be happy with a windows native command line solution if necessary?
Thanks G
