1. OT - Desktop searching
If, like me, you sometimes loose routines in too many include files, or you want
to search all the files in your Euphoria directory for something.. Look no
further! I tried using the Google Desktop search tool for this but without using
plugins it doesn't count EU files as text and it also only indexes the first x
bytes of a file..
I've now switched to the free 'Copernic Desktop Search'
http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/ . I've found this to be far
better than Googles one - it is much more configurable, you can specify exactly
which folders it should index and you can tell it the actual format of file
types. i.e. You can specify that the Eu files types like EXW EX etc are actually
text, and you can set your own limit on the maximum size of files to index etc
etc. Also for the paronoid amongst you, Copernic does not report back to its home
on you.
I used the free version of another of their products (the excellent 'Copernic
Agent') for years for searching the web before I found Google 'to be my friend'.
Now, as you can guess, I'm sold on their desktop search enough to want to
recommend it here.
