There are some filters done on ruby that will allow you to do this but I think
is still on a per file basis. You might want to check it out for updates:

Quoting Claude Needham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

It would be very handy to have a search feature that could work across
many files. For example searching a folder of documents for any
document containing a phrase.

The motivation for the request comes from being a very prolific
fiction writer. Sometimes I would need to extract something from the
chapter dealing with the description of a landscape. Well, I don't
necessarily remember the chapter or even the book it was in. Looking
for the phrase "raging storm" might narrow it down.

Since the files are stored in a compress format, I can not use
standard text search third-party programs to accomplish. I was hoping
in the new version of OpenOffice this would be include.

Regards,
Claude
