How do search (desiganated folders/files) using the Search by a ' Word or
Phrase in a file' when the match string is all numbers (example:
25-2006-960-70)

To keep the number of files found to a specific file type containing the word, use the file ext. for that file type:

In the files/folders named input box type: *.file extension (Note: change file ext to the actual ext name, -- Ex: *.doc -- that's -- asterisk dot fileext)
In the Containing Text input box copy/paste/type the actual numbers/letters as they are, the entire string isn't always necessary.
Select the volume/drive/partition to search or click the dropdown arrow and click Browse to select a directory/folder.
