Recoll (http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/) can index LyX files. I have never tried it. A simpler solution is from the command line : find . -name \*.lyx | xargs grep -C4 "Cahiers" | less which will find all your LyX files with the word Cahiers. You can refine the find command with options about the date of creation or modification of the file. In KDE you have a graphical interface that do the same (search files, in your K-Menu) Cheers, Charles
