   Pros, Cons

   I love DocFetcher! I discovered this gem of a program when Windows stopped supporting string searches in word processors other than Word.

   🏁 Competitors: the generic string search available in Windows, Agent Ransack, Locate32, Everything

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful intuitive interface. easy to use, once you set up the index.

   👎 Cons:    If you have a large collection of files to index, you will eventually be unable to search all your documents at the same time. you have to set up separate indexes and search each one separately. available in a variety of versions, up to 64 bit.|The help files are good. however, learning how to set up an index can be frustrating.

• software manager and libre office do not start after mint 21 upgrade

  3) Search for any LibreOffice config files - in case any remain - and delete them. You could try using Nemo for that, but I recommend AngrySearch. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Is there a file searcher for Manjaro which operates like this mock-up I created?

  For Search I currently use AngrySearch. Which indexes your filesmanually triggered, and then searches that index when you type in the search box. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

  Right now I'm using ANGRYsearch tied to a hotkey, which does the job very well, but it should actually be part of the DE because. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

DocFetcher mentions (11)

• Docfetcher is a cross-platform free and open source desktop search application

  As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. - Source: Reddit / 12 days ago

• Career Advice for a fresh graduate who wants to enter Structural Engineering field

  What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. - Source: Reddit / 30 days ago

• How do you organize yourself?

  I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Search engine software to search inside pdf files in my laptop's folder?

  DocFetcher. It works with docs, PDFs, epubs, TXT, HTML files and many other formats. You create a full-text index once, and after that the program will find all keyword/phrase occurrences in no time, with a preview snippet and a link to the file. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
