Under the Advanced Search options there is a way to search file contents but it comes with a warning that contents are not indexed, so you'll want to narrow the search through filenames first.
It has worked for me when I knew the snippet I was looking for but couldn't remember which of about 50 files might contain it.
Now I use "Everything". It's instantaneous and finds, well, everything. Including hidden files or stuff in weird/obscure locations on the drive.
AFAIK it only does filenames though, nothing about searching in file contents as well. For me that's been good enough however.
