Search for text in documents

I cannot find any Advanced Search feature that lets me define a text string
to search for in files on the computer. Is that feature no longer available?
All is see that is even close is "Tags" whatever that is.

Hi Bev,

There is an advanced search in folders that allows you to look for a
particular string in a file. Here's a Help topic that has some good
information:

Best regards,

Meredith

The answer is in your question - you just need to use quotes around the
string

eg

Start > Search > "The rain in Spain" (top-right box)
