You may want to search "folder options" from control panel search pane.
Under folder options select "change search options for files and folder"
this opens a dialog box, under the heading "How to Search" check the box
next to "Use Natural Language Search"
Windows Search indexes text content but not punctuation.
Passed that, Vista search is powerful and its worth the effort to learn its
power. Plus Vista includes setting for power users in advanced search.
Start thinking about a valid Property the file can have and the Value you
are searching for.
e.g. property:value Revision number:5 [<property name>:<value>]
store:file .
You can do the same on Google e.g. filetype:text .
Search "search" from Vista help files, lots of info there.
Be sure to turn on the setting from help "Help setting" To include window
online help and support when searching from help so you get the latest
context available.
Find out more about power searching at the two links below, just for
starters.

Vista ultimate. I want to search multiple dtsx files for the existence of
a
string that includes a double quote. Specifically:
ProtectionLevel">1<
When I search for that string, it appears to treat the double quote as a
space, and returns files that contain both "ProtectionLevel" and ">1<",
but
not necessarily juxtaposed. Maybe there's an escape character I can prefix
the double quote with?
Thanks
