Default Searching for a word or phase across multiple unopened documents

Install Copernic Desktop Search (free). Gazillion times faster than
Explorer, and you can limit your search to a specific type of document (DOC,
PDF, JPG, WP, etc.). To search for a phrase, put it in quotations.

In Office Word 2007, on a Windows Vista Business platform, how does one go
about searching for a particular word or a phase across multiple unopened
Word documents? E.g. Say Im searching for all Word documents created in a
folder that contain the phrase €śCondition Inspection Report€ť in the body of
the text. I used to be able to do this in Office 2000, but cant figure out
how to accomplish the same task in Office 2007.
