Anyone got a Find plugin handy? > Richard Gaskin > Fourth World Media Corporation My rather old "Topsearch" stack attempted to achieve a really fast search for text fields in a stack. Search is "lightning-fast" amd you do not get simply addresses, but all lines containing the (colored) searchstrings along with the addresses that can lead you immediately to the card containing the text field Similar procedures are used in my tools "SearchDocs" for searching the Rev documentation (including "Topics" etc.) and my four-year old "revbrowser", which contains the option to really fast-search all the scripts in a stack. The address is: <http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>. Go to page "Tools and Samples for Development". There are other efficient tools around in the Metacard and Rev community (among them Richard Gaskin's and Klaus Major's), but it does not hurt to look around.
