That won't work. One reason I don't like PDF is that you can't do
grep 'clear text' on it. You have to use a tool such as pdftotext then
grep its output.
As to desktop search program, none is perfect. Microsoft Desktop Search
insists on indexing Outlook mails, even if I turn it off. Google Desktop
has no rule order for inclusion/exclusion so to only index c:\mydocs,
you have to exclude all other folders at C:. Copernic only allows you
to use for free at home. Both Google and Copernic have trouble indexing
some files in subfolder with space in filenames.
