[QUOTE="kingtoe, post: 972506, member: 137963"] Wow, y'all on this forum are great. Thanks for the replies. You all suggested Spotlight, and I'm sorry I was unclear when I said: "Finder won't show me inside documents at all..." By "Finder" I meant "Spotlight." SPOTLIGHT is great, but I want something to show me the document's CONTENTS as I search. GOOGLE is better still, but I want something that HIGHLIGHTS the searched terms. I've searched long and failed to find a mac app to display a document like this (short of the $40+ suites, as I mentioned above). If there's nothing else, I'm just going to buy DevonThink. I'm sad, though, to pay $40 just to accomplish this simple task... it seems like a college student could program something that does what I want. Thanks again for the help! [/QUOTE]
