How to efficiently find a .docx file by content?

Need a program to search for .docx files by content. That is, you need to check all files with the .docx extension for a phrase, and not one word at a time, as the Windows 7 search engine is looking for. Thank you in advance.

Windows Search does not necessarily search for a single word. You just don't cook it right.
I recommend to study , especially the section Using keywords to refine a search. And here .
And so, the base: the phrase in quotes is an exact match, the operators AND \ NOT \ OR also work.
For example, if you want to find a file that contains the exact phrase "on the balcony", the word "flower" is present, but the word "cthulhu" is missing, the query will be:
PS Remember to enable search by content in the search settings.
PPS There is such a thing - Archivarius 3000 . This is the main caliber in the search war - with all its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages - there is everything, disadvantages - a thick index, fancy old-school interface, price.
