Can I see search results highlighted in full binder?

Hi,

Is it possible to do a project search, but see the complete binder, with the documents highlighted in which your search term shows up? This instead of a filtered binder.
This would make it much easier to see where in a long document (like my 240K novel) the search term appears.

thank you

I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but if you right-click on the search result and choose “Reveal in Binder”, it will take you to the document’s actual location in the binder.

thanks. yeah, that i know. but it’s like if your search result turns up in say 5 documents out of 50, it would be great to see where, in one view.

  1. Do the search.
  2. Click a file in the search result/binder.
  3. Select all of the search result (Ctrl-A)
  4. Reveal in binder.

If you turn the search result into a collection (between step 3 and 4), you’ll be able to go back and forth.
