Helen, I'm not 100% sure, but I think that since OS 10.0 the 'search contents' option is automatically assumed by the find feature. You just have to command+F and add/sign that option in the prompt window. Hope this helps, LM >>> helenjlowe at hotmail.com - 2004/05/11 11:33 AM >>> I have recently installed OS X (but not panther). I used to index all my Word documents and occasionally use Sherlock to find by content text. But the new Sherlock doesn't seem to do this, and I can't work it out with the new system. Anyone out there got the solution? thanks HJ
