How to search for file content
How can I search a folder or a folder and its sub-folders for content, like a single word that might be contained within a document?
Re: How to search for file content
browse the folder, press CTRL+F to start the search, and put your desired word to search in CONTAINING TEXT field
there are many demo videos that explain the search here: www.zabkat.com/tour3.htm

or even Ctrl+G to search for text in the current folder pane.

Sounds so simple, but not so. I have included a couple of images to show what happens when I search for a single word.
This word is even part of a file's name, and there is another file with the word within a simple one page document, not even one page really, but more one sentence (with very large font size); a kind of poster.

Re: How to search for file content
many things can go wrong here, e.g. what is in your NAMED field? (in your pic it looks there's some name you perhaps inadvertently added as a search parameter). Are these OneDrive files you are searching available offline? Try searching in a normal document folder. There are lots of other things that can go wrong, see here
