Instant Document Search 1.1 (Shareware, $29.95)

Instant Document Search is a revolutionary new local PC document search engine. Most built-in or third party local search solutions are merely “file finders” that do not offer text-based search options advanced users need. Those that do offer text-based searching options usually process only MS Word based documents (.txt, .doc., rtf) and are excruciatingly slow. Instant Document Search takes Google approach to offline searing. Essentially, the program processes all files stored inside a PC that contain text (including HTML) and creates own database or search index. So, any time a search is performed, the program produces a match (or matches) instantly, which is an essential feature if you have thousands of text files, like writers, lawyers and consultants do.

Wanyword 4.00 (Freeware)

Text search with Boolean and NEAR or proximity operators. ANSI/OEM search and conversion on the fly which is not unimportant since there is a lot of old DOS text around and umlauts and accents may give problems here. Sets of found files can be saved. There is a TXT/RTF editor which understands OLE and has recursive search and replace. You can see HTM files without the HTM codes, but WanyWord is NOT a HTM editor. You cannot see the graphics in a HTM page but WanyWord now has a built-in browser. You can sort by word, line and page.WanyWord cannot do fuzzy searches, it is very literal minded.There are Brazilian, Danish, German and English interfaces and helpfiles and you can roll your own interface in your own language. WanyWord is freeware and the Visual C++ source is included.
