Doing specific searches

How do I search for a specific type of document containing a specific word within a particular directory and its subdirectories? For instance, I want to find .css documents with the word "window" in a directory called "Global", and its subdirectories.
 
Navigate to the "Global" directory, then press command-F ("Find"). Then, set the first search criteria to "Kind" and select whatever you need, and set the second criteria to "Contents" and whatever word you'd like.

This assumes you're using Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger".
 
Thanks for trying, but that does not work. I put in Kind as Text, Name Contains with .css and the finder only listed 6 names out of 43 that are in that directory, and there are more in some of the subdirectories.
How do I tell the search to fetch all the files instead of only six?
