Default Can you recommend a good text search utility? (for WindowsXP, esp for Office2003)

Hmm I for Binging it!!
Windows for Windows.
Microsoft for Microsoft .
So http://www.bing.com is by Microsoft Windows.
Look at this if you Google Houston # 1 Minpin you will not get it the text
Title.
But Bing it and you get http://minpin.ww.com (Who title is Houston # 1
Minpin cam) or http://www.minpin.ath.cx (Who title is Houston # 1 Minpin)
so if a Title is just text then I would recommend Bing it........

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?

So, you're saying that OP should use Bing for searching for and within local
PC files because:-

a) his PC is running a version of Microsoft Windows and Bing is "by
Microsoft Windows"

and

b) you got a result in an oddly specific *Web* search with Bing that you
didn't see with Google - one for which the first four results start "About
My WebCam: WebCam Name C-LisaMinPins"? (Forgive me for not clicking on any
of these links to what might turn out to be "Lisa's webcam" for all I know.)

That's an... interesting... take on the matter. One I feel, however, that
the OP will wisely skip.

Actually, it's File Manager - or more a swiss army knife - for your file

NO you are the One talking about being search by god know Who!!

But you get a Google (SpyWare) to search you PC go for it.
But do not Cry to me

So the Best searcher is the one for the PC is the one that come with the PC.

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?

look at version 2.5

Actually, it's File Manager - or more a swiss army knife - for your file
system. It really has a very strong and fast file search engine.

Default Can you recommend a good text search utility? (for WindowsXP, esp for Office2003)

If, amidst that rambling, semi-literate semi-gibberish, you're saying that
XP's built-in search facility is the best thing for the OP's needs, you're
completely wrong and unfamilar with its weaknesses. I more than suspect,
however, that you're actually just trolling these groups.

NO you are the One talking about being search by god know Who!!
and Not by Windows Microsoft search. That was made by windows for windows

But you get a Google (SpyWare) to search you PC go for it.
But do not Cry to me
IF you cannot Bing the Web nomore!!!!

So the Best searcher is the one for the PC is the one that come with the
PC.

if you do not believe me Ask::: Bill Microsoft if I right !!!!!!!!

Olórin - thank you - the voice of sanity returns.

Aside: Gads - why *do* people do all that trolling?
(is it due to some long-standing grudge [e.g. because at some point
the key people in the community of users of this newsgroup irritated
them?]
Or are they paid to do it? Or are they just bored? Or delusional? Or
what? )
