Re: Off Topic

But what do you do with the saved search file?!?!

I did a search and saved it to my desktop as well. I then closed the search
window. When I double click on the saved search file on the desktop, it
asks me what do I want to use to open it with. Its like Windows doesn't
have an association with these file types. What do I do with them? I would
like to utilize them as well, if I only knew how.

Hello Seth-

I save my Search criteria all the same. It seems like the Search is faster
once you've saved it. I save them to my desktop. One of my favorites is
Search for all .pdf files.

I also Save my Search criteria when using SolidWorks Explorer.

Now that is a different story...

However, there is a fairly simple way to expedite the procedure each
time.
1. Put a shortcut to that folder on the desktop.
2. Open up the folder using this shortcut at any time.
3. In the Standard Buttons toolbar, click the Search button.
4. Go thru the rest of the prompts just as before

This search will only search the folder you are searching from.
Basically, this just eliminates having to browse to the folder each time.

There is also something else that may help, if you can figure out how it
works (I can't). After you do your search, in the search results window,
go File>Save Search. You can save this search as a "Saved Search File",
whatever that is. You might try playing with this to figure out if it
will help you. If you do get it figured out, let us know...

Seth,

I was not aware you could do that. So if I'm always going to search
inside the same folder on my network, is it possible to set up a search
on my desktop that prompts me for the search string then searches that
same folder every time.

Uh! If you have Windows, how about the Windows search utility. It
does exactly what you want already.

Can't remember about other versions of Windows, but in Windows XP, do
the following:
1. Go Start>Search
2. Select "Documents"
3. Click "Use advanced search options"
4. Type in your word or phrase under "A word or phrase in the document"
5. Under "Look in", browse to the folder that you want. It will do
network folders as well.
6. You can select "More advanced options" if you need them. Otherwise
click "Search"

I'm looking for a program that will search text inside of files like
Google Desktop does. It needs to search for text inside of Excel and
Word files located on a network drive and list all the files found
with that text.

I found a list of free prgrams similar to Google Desktop but it looks
as if they can only search your harddrive and not network folders.
Any suggestions?

David
