How do I (recursively) search ALL file contents in Windows 7?

Question

How do I (recursively) search all file contents in Windows 7? I am using the content:xxx command, in the Search settings box in Windows Explorer, to search xxx in this example. This does not work:

As an example of how this search is broken, I see an org.eclipse.wst.common.component file with text that I am searching for and Windows 7 is not returning it in the results. I assume it's only searching known text-based file types. How can I make it search all files? I need to find everything I am looking for.

P.S. If there is a DOS-based solution, I will also accept this. Maybe a batch file using dir /s /b and findstr could be constructed.

EDIT: Noted my need for a recursive search.

"user3245549" is right:

All of the above answers with "for loops" and nested bat files are mumbo jumbo. All you need is to just use "findstr" - example:

C:\temp> findstr /S /C:"/work" * | more   <-- this will find the string "/work" in any file 

or

C:\temp> findstr /S /C:"/work" "*.*" | more  

or

C:\temp> findstr /S /C:"/work" * > results.txt 

or

C:\temp> findstr /S /C:"/work" "*.*" > results.txt 

NOTE: You can leave out the "double-quotes" around the asterisks - I just put those because the editor here on Stackoverflow was stripping out the asterisks on either side of the period. NOTE ALSO: You still need the quotes around the "string text" for which you are searching, as far as I know.
