  • Answer:

    You are kidding us, right? That word is so general that your answer would be nearly every file--for example, every e-mail has it. You might as well ask for every file with the word "name" or "send" in it.

If you're on a Linux/Unix system, and it's a plain text file, you can use "grep". On a Windows box, you can use "find" or "findstr" to do the same. If that's a Word doc or any other formatted document format, you'll need to somehow extract the text from it. I can't give more suggestion unless you tell us the type of formatted document.
