Search for words in description in services(.msc)

Question

I sometimes search for services that have been named poorly and cannot be found with, for example the first letter of the programs name.

How do I search for a specific word(s) in the description field in services.msc?

I cannot see anything in File, Action or View. Is there a 'hidden' option? There should be some way...?

Answer 1

2 Options:

Option 1:

• Open services.msc
• Click Action > Export list and save it as text document
• Now you can use search (Ctrl+F) in notepad to find what you need.

Option 2:

You could use something like Hilitext to search for text anywhere on your screen.
