If you want to search documents you have created, I can imagine that you may not use the feature much. But e.g. for research papers, the downloaded copy rarely reflects the contents/authors, so it is really handy to be able to search the contents.

Weird. For me windows don't seem to search inside documents, or at least not in all documents.
