Looking for data string inside a file

[SoundBroker]

Sometimes I am not sure what the name of a file is, I only know the text string I am looking for.  For example, I have a text document that I know the words "I love you" are typed, but I forgot the name of the text file.   So if I bring up Alfred and type "Find" or "Find In" now Alfred can't find a file it only gives me choices to search for it on the Internet, I want to restrict this type of search only to my computer and to either files with the text string I am looking for. 

 

How do I have Alfred do that type of search for me?

The keyword to search within a file is "in" and not "find in" unless you have edited the keyword for this function. This does require that Spotlight can read the text content of the file.
