TEXT SEARCHA text search program that is fast and easy, can replace text, and performs indexed text retrieval too, can save you time and trouble. Searching for words, names, or expressions is an interruption of thought that most writers can do without.
SEARCH 4 WAYSPerform a search 4 ways : plain text search, regular expressions, approximate, and sound-alike. You can find words or expressions in any kind of file. The regular expressions provide a grep-like search. The approximate and sound-alike searches enable you to search files for a word or a name even when you do not know how to spell it, or it has been misspelled in files. Finders KeepersTM is fast when you have it look for words file by file. But if you let it index all your files for an index-based text retrieval, then it takes under a second to find a word on your computer. You can view found files 6 different ways. REPLACE WORDS SAFELYFinders KeepersTM can find and replace words or expressions in multiple files across directories--and keep backups of all changed files. If you need to, you can password-disable this function. Then Finders KeepersTM will find words or expressions, but it will not be able to replace anything. FOR NON-TECHNICAL USERS...Three of the four methods for finding words or expressions with Finders KeepersTM are "non-technical": Plain, Sound-alike, and Approximate. In the first two of these, you don't have to set anything; in the Approximate method, all you set is how many errors, or discrepancies, you want to allow in the spelling--usually 1 or 2. The Plain method will find just what you type in; but the Sound-alike and Approximate methods will find words or phrases that are close to what you type in. FOR ADVANCED USERS...Finders KeepersTM has many features to suit the advanced user, including regular expressions, scores of options, batch mode, built-in binary and ASCII viewers, and indexed text retrieval.
Let Finders Keepers do the search--you do the thinking.TM |
