How do I search for file extension and content in Windows 7?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
In Windows XP this was very simple, but for some reason in Windows 7 it is not...
I want to search for all files from C given an extension "example: *.sql" that contains the content "table_abc".
I searched and the only information I got was to change Tools → Folder options → Search → "always search file names and contents...", but this is not what I am looking for.

In the search bar on the upper right hand corner of the file explorer you need to add the prefix type: and content:.
So the search you would perform is "content:table_abc type:.sql" without quotes
Here is an image for reference. In it I searched for a .sql file containing the word "object_data". The search I performed was type:.sql content:object_data

In windows 2012 Search the syntax would be:
file:.sln Project1.proj
or
file:.ext content:"My Content String"
2012 does not recognize type, but does recognize file and content is optional.
This is a good way to find Solutions in a source tree is you know a filename.
