    Hi Radhish_007, I am Paulo, an Independent Advisor, and I'm willing to help.

    Have you tried to turn on the option to search through file contents? If not, you can do that by opening the Indexing Options. Click Advanced > File types then tick on the option Index Properties and File Contents. A rebuild index dialog box should appear once you press OK. Just exit the window and try to search. If you don’t get results for your search right away, you may have to wait for the folders and files to be indexed.

    Please see this as a reference as well
