Welcome to the forums, StanH.
To find files containing certain words, open up a folder where you would like to search => search box on top right => type your text, the more you type the more accurately it'll search => depending on how much you've typed in, it'll show you 1 or more files.
I have just tried it, it works. Again, the more you type in the search box, the better it searches.
