Searching for phrase in a folder of documents

Is there a way to use the Vista search tool to search all the documents in a
folder that contain a phrase or multiple consecutive words (I.e. "01 71" or
"These three words")?

Thanks

Jeff...

Goto Mythicsoft's website, get AgentRansack or FileLocatorPro.

Vista search (UNLIKE older WIndowsXP) is FLAWED, a widely known and much
flamed about topic on the Net - just Google.
