Chapter 25. Find Files on Your Computer

As you work on your computer, you’ll create more and more files and more and more folders in which to store those files. Sometimes you need to find a document whose name you’ve forgotten, and it can be a chore to start looking through all those folders. Well, the Search feature can do that for you. It can find files whose names you only slightly remember, or maybe you don’t remember the name at all but you have an idea of the time frame in which it was created, or maybe you don’t remember anything about creating the file but you know what it was about—Search can even look at the contents of your documents to find it for you.
