"ship" wrote in message ... WindowsXP Pro msOffice 2003 Xara Xtreme Pro MindManager FreeMind ...} all latest versions Hi Can anyone recommend a utility for searching my local WindowsXP PC? I need to do text searching across msOffice2003 files (e.g. Outlook, Excel, Word). (Optionally, I would IDEALLY also like to be able to search files from: Xara Xtreme Pro, Mindjet's MindManager, FreeMind, plus HTML, PDF files... but this is not a deal breaker.) I have tried - WindowXP's search == horrible. I have uninstalled it and use the previous version - which is very slow but more accurate. Fails to do outlook files. - GoogleDesktop == Initially I was impressed, but now keeps failing to spider things. Terrible at handling archivals of emails. - Copernic Desktop (v3.2.1) == Takes literally *days* to spider/re-spider. Clunky & processor hungry. Not good at handling archivals of emails. All I need something as powerful as Google websearch, but that runs across my own PC ! For example exact phrase matching (e.g. by using double quotes around a phrase) For example negative matching - i.e. excluding certain phrases I am becoming increasingly desperate!! - Any thoughts?
