re finding words in articles in open office suggestion

[Priscilla Van Sutphin <te...@gmail.com>]

One of the things you can do that is extremely helpful for finding 
things in writings

is to put a word in search in microsoft word  in your calling up you 
list of articles,

So you can find something you've written but can't find which article it 
is in.

So I can click on documents in Word, and there is a search option in 
upper right corner

and I

  can put in the word sabotage for example, and find it in several 
articles I 've written.

But on using Ubuntu i cannot do that in open office.  Is there anyway 
you can change that?

Priscilla -

I don't have Word so I'm not familiar with the Search tool in Word that you're describing. It sounds like the Search tool in the upper right corner of the Windows File Explorer.

In Debian (and presumably also in Ubuntu) there is the 'recoll' application, which searches within the contents of files. I don't have much experience with it, but I think it may do what you need. There is documentation at www.recoll.org, and you should be able to install it from within Ubuntu.
