[Ti] Word Search

[Massimo Marino]

It is called "Indexing" and of course is not limited to a Word document 
but to every little piece of crap you might end to have in every little 
file in your system. Mac had it well before OS X. You have it on OS X 
as well though.

The first time you index a volume the process takes some times then it 
is incremental. It allows you to answer yourself questions like: "I 
remember I had seen the word 'crap' in one of my files but do not 
remember if it was an email, a text, a pdf, a picture, or whatever!! Ah 
if only I had my volumes indexed!".

It is like doing a glorified 'grep -r' or 'find' to the highest level 
of file system intrusiveness. Select a volume/folder/sub-directory, the 
get the Info and go to "Content Index".

Cheers
