Easy PDF Search<\/a> helps you search for words or phrases in your PDF files.\u00a0 You can also search for values in the file annotations<\/a> and attributes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To start off, enter the words or phrases you want to search in the search window.\u00a0 There are a few ways you can refine your search terms, like conditional searching using AND and OR operators, using NOT to exclude words, using NEAR to perform proximity searches, all described here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For now, let’s just keep things simple, and search for the word performance<\/strong> or monitoring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, we need to tell Easy PDF Search<\/a>\u00a0which files to search in.\u00a0 To do that, we need to define one or more libraries.\u00a0 Each library can contain one or more paths and search patterns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can define generic paths like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or more specific search patterns like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have defined your libraries, select the libraries you want to include in your search.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this way, you can easily choose which paths you want to search in if you group files of similar topics into the same libraries.<\/p>\n

Easy PDF Search<\/a> will then index your files where necessary, and display the search results in the main window. Click on any of the items to open the relevant file or page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Easy PDF Search<\/a> will highlight all the search terms found on that page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the search results, you can now perform various tasks like compiling all the results<\/span> into a single PDF file, extracting text and images from the pages, converting the pages to images etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also review your search history and recall the results of those searches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also use the search parameters from your search history to perform a new search if you have new or modified files in your libraries.<\/p>\n
