Here's what I've got (following Suzanne's suggestion):

Property: Text or property
Condition: Includes
The box below the Add/Remove/Remove All buttons contains one line, "Text or
property includes Mozart".
Search in: selected locations (two directories which contain matches are
selected, both with the "...and subdirectories" option, although it
shouldn't be necessary).
Results should be: Selected file types, Office files

Still nothing. I tried the same search with the whole drive (and
subdirectories) selected. Again, it came back with nothing almost instantly,
suggesting that it isn't really trying.
