If you have a ton of documents, and want to find a particular one quickly, there are two ways to do this: referring to the filename is the most obvious way, but if that doesn't help, you can use a program that can search inside documents.
AnyTXT Searcher can be useful in such situations.

The application has a simple interface with a menu bar at the top of the window, a search box below it, a couple of buttons next to the search field. The program indexes all documents found on your computer's hard drive. This is done to search through their contents quickly, when you want to find something. AnyTXT Searcher is sort of like the Everything search engine, but for text files.

AnyTXT Searcher supports fuzzy match and whole match, you can switch between the two options from the Tool menu.

The program isn't limited to text documents, it can be used with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and eBook files. Here is the list of document formats supported by AnyTXT Searcher: TXT, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, EPUB, MOBI, HTML, CPP and EML. Though it isn't mentioned in the list, the program also supports the CHM (HTML Help files), TCR, FB2 formats. In addition to these, it also supports PDFs, though this feature is still in beta.

This tool can be set to update the Index once every 30 minutes, 1/2/4 hours. It has an update now option that can be used manually. If you don't want the program to index the files automatically, you can stop the service from the menu.

Looks useful thanks

The built-in search feature of Windows 10 finds any word in any document for me. How would this program be different or better?
Thanks, Acadia

I still use Locate32 which also offers inside search for files when needed. It does not indicate content, it's all live and it's fast. (like Everything search)
