Is there a way of searching text or phrases within Word/LibreOffice or PDF files using Catfish? If not, can anybody suggest a suitable alternative? I know a grep Command can be used in Terminal but it looks way over my head - would prefer something graphical if available.
Thanks in advance.
Press Ctrl+F from within any document type to search it, or enable 'Fulltext Search' in Catfish.
Thanks but I've already tried that and didn't work. I'm searching for an exact phrase comprising just a few words and want to know which doc file it came from. I also checked "Exact Match" as well as "Fulltext Search" but yielded no result. The file is definitely on my computer among a few hundred others!
Thanks Jerry but Recoll did it for me after a bit of tweaking. Thrilled with the results.
Appreciate your help - keep the LL flag flying!
Fyi, LL also has the terminal command, find . On a terminal do
man find
Warning: alittle geeky.
