When I search for files which have 127.0.0.1
in their content... It shows files that DO NOT have 127.0.0.1
in their content. What is the problem here?

Are you using Windows XP ? And in which type of files you want to search for that string?– SilviuJun 5, 2012 at 14:59

Within the search box type: content: 127.0.0.1
.
Just tested it out on my Windows 7 system. It worked perfectly. I also tested just typing the IP address in. It worked too.
Since you are looking for 127.0.0.1
within a document(s) that contain a127.0.0.1
, you could try searching for ~=127.0.0.1
per the solution of this question.

I think you just tested it for search IPs like
127.0.0.1
but nota127.0.0.1
. does it works for second IP types?– HamedJun 5, 2012 at 15:14 -
No. It's not going to work. It how Win7 search is now designed. It only works if you know exactly what you are looking for.– SgtOJJun 5, 2012 at 15:17

As Windows 7 search uses regular expression, I think there must be a regular expression to do that.– HamedJun 5, 2012 at 15:22
