One way of searching for a word is to make web pages and then batch search
these for the word in question. This does return *all* usage of the word for
persons' names for example so could produce rather more returns than
required but the original poster did not specify what h/she was searching
for.
The set up criteria for the web pages in this instance would not really
matter. To search the web pages I suggest using HTML Kit available free
from: http://www.chami.com/html-kit/
One would also need to download and install the batch-find plug-in available
from the same site.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Searching All Legacy Notes
Legacy GEDCOM splits notes in the middle of words by default. Do you
export a file with notes split between whole words when you want to
search?
----- Original Message -----
What I do is to export my file as a gedcom - which is a simple text file
and then to use an ordinary text editor to search that file. It's easy
enough then to see which record numbers are involved and then to go back
to legacy if I need formatted information - or simply read it from the
Gedcom if not.
