With the Find in Files window showing, you can change the Look In: combo box to anything except for open docs and current docs. This will enable the Look at these file types: option to select what files to search for.
And for more advanced searching…
There’s an ellipse “…” button next to the Look In: combo box. Pressing this will pop up the Choose Search Folders. Here you can create a set of folders to search in. And now you can find your custom folder set as a Look in: option. Watch the video – it’s much easier to understand 🙂
