XYplorer
Desktop search programs like Google Desktop Search can quickly find any file on a PC either by filename or by any phrase contained within the file. However, these programs do consume a lot of processor power, and the indexes themselves take up a lot of disk space. If you need to only occasionally search all the files on your PC for a specific phrase you don't need a full desktop search program.
You could use XYplorer, a multi-tabbed file manager for Windows, featuring a very powerful file search, versatile preview facilities, a highly customizable interface, and a large array of unique ways to efficiently automate frequently recurring tasks.
It's extremely light, doesn't require any installation, nor does it ever change the system or registry.
