>John,
>I don't have it but used evaluation for 2.x and 3.0 sometime ago. phDbase3 (phdbase part is correct as I remember, rest may be wrong) is a powerfull char and memo search (yes memo I wrote) third party tool. I really want to have it too one day. It not only searches text and memo lightning speed (all were instant in my evaluation), but has options such as include digits, support searches like "disk near copression", "disk within 5 words compressed" etc. Syntax I used here are not the original ones but I mean you could search ie: both "disk" and "compressed" where they're max 5 words apart in memo (and the results are instant !). It has many more options. At least search for it and do an evaluation. I think you also would have a discount for it being a UT member.

You are quiet correct. Michel uses it here on the UT for searches.
