INDEXED TEXT RETRIEVAL IN KEEPERS...

In the Keepers section, Finders Keepers^TM provides  indexed text retrieval  as another way to search your writing projects or entire hard drives, and view or launch what you find.  Indexing enables instant searching.  Indexing is also useful for studying, reviewing, or checking documents.  For example, if you have a court case with John Doe or you wrote a novel about John Doe, you may want to index all chapters or documents where he might appear in order to see what you said about him--for consistency and the like.
