indexing

Post by facelessone »

wondering if theres a way to index text annotations automatically, like maybe having all the text from text based markups automatically added to the documents metadata?

yes, this is interesting. I'm using a program to index pdf files, but my annotations are not indexed, and it certainly would be very useful if they could be indexed.

I can literally find needle in a haystack. When I just remember few words or a short phrase ... it gives results in a few seconds. And unlike lot of competitors, it has a morphology search, and also supports wildcards * and ? . The “found fragments view” is excellent, you can quickly go through the found terms in that document. Excellent indexes management, full unicode support, ... Best or the best, really. It has my full recommendation :)

In fact, I just tested Archivarius again, and it already indexes "Text Box tool", "Callout tool" and "Typewriter tool"!!! The only one which is not indexed at the moment is "Sticky note" tool ...

Tracker Software,

would it be possible for the program to search/find text written in the text tools ("Text Box tool", "Callout tool", "Typewriter tool") ?

Thanks

Wow! Great! I hope it works. I really like Windows Desktop Search despite being a long time fan of Copernic.
