Hi Steve. The last time I used the Adobe directory search, it took more time than I had patience. I have many hundreds of manuals. I'm too impatient, so I think it probably needs an index in order to be quick enough.

STOW Initialize?) From: Don Williams <donb...@gmail.com> Date: 01/28/2013 12:10 PM I admit it, I'm lazy. I love the entire bookshelf search feature. However, more and more books are available only in PDF format. I'm unhappy (stronger words would need to censored) that I cannot search an entire extended bookshelf on my on PC. Several years ago, I complained to IBM about the lack of a extended bookshelf search and that more and more books where available only in PDF format. <SNIPPAGE> I use Adobe Reader. It has a "find" function that works within a document. It also has a "SEARCH" feature that acts on a directory. I make large use of search when I need to know something that I know is not in an index. And, yes, I actually do download the whole pdf list to my computer. It comes in very handy when I am on a flight, or otherwise do not have Internet access and am trying to figure out how to do something.
