Default Find a file when I don't know what it is named?

Well, there's always the huge search for filename using either
*.xls* for Excel files, or even *.xl*
and same for Word:
*.doc or *.do*

Start at either My Documents or My Computer and go have a cup of coffee or
three if you have done a lot of Excel or Word work on the system. Then of
cours you have the task of trying to figure out which of the myriad members
of the returned list is THE ONE you really want.

In Excel or Word2007 how do you find a file that you do not remember what you
named it or where you filed it? In Excel or Word 2003 I could enter a word
in the file and it would bring up all documents with that work in it.
