It's on my list but other things will come first. Whereas in windows explorer (and all other file managers) you can only search for sizes and dates - in addition to usual names and contained text - xplorer² takes advantage of all available columns and does so in a boolean fashion. While not exactly like a traditional file manager, the Everything Search Engine is worth installing. (You guessed it: I won't write my own PDF filter. XYPlorer is another juicy explorer worth exploring. To search the interpreted text of such files, one has to use filters (interpreters), that are usually supplied to the OS with the installation of such software. However it does search the raw, uninterpreted contents - in case of complex file formats like PDF or Office files, it is likely that XY finds either too much or too less, since the the raw data and the interpreted data differ to a large degree. Maybe Don can take a look at it, and make it working for PDF's with "real" text in them.XY can search the contents of any file, so this includes PDFs.
