I wanted to search for a sentence that contains my two search words with other various words intervening.
For example, let's say I want to search for the above sentence out of a 3 GB database. Let's say also that I remember only that the sentence begins with "I" and ends with "intervening".
I would suggest that is pretty unusual, but you could use wildcards to search for something like that if you are smart about it. Make sure to specify that I is the first word, intervening is the last - otherwise you'll get "greedy matching" problems.
There may also be issues about line boundaries - I don't know if/how the Acrobat indexer handles matches across lines.
I have just now tried the search features in Acrobat 6 (searching indexes made wtih Acrobat 4 and 5). Though I haven't yet perused all its features, the search capablities are vastly improved. However, it is deathly slow on my old Pentium 233, whereas Acrobat 4 and 5 are quite fast.
Yes, I suspect that Acrobat 6 in general is optimized for PIII or P4 computers...
