In a fic finder community, someone was looking for recs. I had a fic to rec, knew I saved it but don't know the title. I could look through all the saved fic PDFs that I have but I have over 650. Is there a program or anything where I can find things inside of documents? I've tried regular windows search and 'file contents' search. Both came up ( Read more... )

There is an Adobe plugin (iFilter) for Windows search. You can find it here

I've updated air, reader and even java but it doesn't seem to work. I click the exe, it asks me to continue, I click yea, the hour glass comes up and then nothing. Then I go to windows indexing to add it to the search index and I can't find it (in the adobe folder).
