Hi, whilst this is good and I didn't know you could do it, I use Google Desktop with JAWS all the time and think it's great, as it will search emails as well and it is very fast.
The Google Desktop search will even search documents that you have deleted as it indexes info as it works, so I have sometimes found that the info I was searching for has been deleted but I could get enough of what I wanted from the result of the search. My only reservation is that it clearly means that when I delete a document, the info contained in it is still buried in Google's indexing system somewhere!
All the best, Barry G----- Original Message ----- From: "martin wilsher" <m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Put the documents in a folder, then open my documents, and highlight the folder. Then alt f and e, then type in the search string and hit enter. Hhth Hope to hear from you soon. From Martin.

I want to be able to select any number of documents and then search for a phrase without having to open each document and search individually. A sighted friend uses google desktop which does this but I think this application blows up Jaws - or so it seems when I've heard it mentioned. Any ideas are much appreciated.
