Search functions

[markkh]

Hi,
Searching multiple pdf files.
PDF files are scanned books. Single word text search is fine. An exact string fine.
Problem example.... I want to search all books for instances of "reuben landscape oil".
Search fails for any result using advanced option "all of the words".
All words in fact fail to get results with the exception of "oil canvas" ; it will pick up instances of "oil on canvas".
Take any other example of using 2 words in the search and the 'target' may have a word between and it fails.

Is there an addon? It seems many pdf files are books and searching multiple books to make useful it needs to behave more like a google search.
At least some kind of block size search (find these words grouped close together).
Thank you. Mark.

Hi markkh,

Thanks for the post - is it possible to have you send us copies of some (or all, if possible) of these books to support@pdf-xchange.com? Please be sure to include a link back to this topic, for reference.

Thanks,
