If, amidst that rambling, semi-literate semi-gibberish, you're saying that
XP's built-in search facility is the best thing for the OP's needs, you're completely wrong and unfamilar with its weaknesses.

Can you recommend a good text search utility? (for WindowsXP,esp for Office2003)
And you recommended that he use BING? When it comes to searching
Microsoft couldn't find its way out of a paper bag... Just because you use a Microsoft operating system it doesn't mean that you can't use a third party search tool like Agent Ransack or other for local searches or that you should rely on BING for web searches. Quite frankly none of what you posted in this thread makes much of any sense.

What does MS-MVP status have to do with it? Do you only listen to or value
the experience of MS-MVPs? Have YOU actually tried comparing XP's native search facility with third-party products, such as Agent Ransack, or are you just blindly assuming it's superior because it's "made" by the makers of the operating system? Or else, upon what do you base your assertion? Even with XP tweaked to search for and within files properly (like it doesn't do out of the box), Agent Ransack outstrips it. Come to it, have YOU actually tried searching local files with Bing, like you suggest? What did you find? Going to stop rising to it, now. Do not feed the troll, so forth.

(is it due to some long-standing grudge [e.g. because at some point the key people in the community of users of this newsgroup irritated them?] Or are they paid to do it? Or are they just bored? Or delusional? Or what? ) Ship On Nov 18, 10:00 am, "Olórin" wrote: If, amidst that rambling, semi-literate semi-gibberish, you're saying that XP's built-in search facility is the best thing for the OP's needs, you're completely wrong and unfamilar with its weaknesses.

"ship" wrote in message ... WindowsXP Pro msOffice 2003 Xara Xtreme Pro MindManager FreeMind ...} all latest versions Hi Can anyone recommend a utility for searching my local WindowsXP PC? I need to do text searching across msOffice2003 files (e.g. Outlook, Excel, Word). (Optionally, I would IDEALLY also like to be able to search files from: Xara Xtreme Pro, Mindjet's MindManager, FreeMind, plus HTML, files... but this is not a deal breaker.) I have tried - WindowXP's search == horrible. I have uninstalled it and use the previous version - which is very slow but more accurate. Fails to do outlook files. - GoogleDesktop == Initially I was impressed, but now keeps failing to spider things. Terrible at handling archivals of emails. - Copernic Desktop (v3.2.1) == Takes literally *days* to spider/re-spider. Clunky & processor hungry. Not good at handling archivals of emails. All I need something as powerful as Google websearch, but that runs across my own PC ! For example exact phrase matching (e.g. by using double quotes around a phrase) For example negative matching - i.e. excluding certain phrases I am becoming increasingly desperate!! - Any thoughts? Ship ShipertonHenethe- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/compare.html look at version 2.5 Actually, it's File Manager - or more a swiss army knife - for your file system. It really has a very strong and fast file search engine. HTH Franz- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -
