I have an up-to-data Windows Vista with Goggle Desktop and am able to do some searching for items. But it does not seem to find anything in the $BaseDirectory, which is where all my notebooks and applications are. How can one do a search for items in notebooks? Does it search for just file names or does it also search for text within a notebook? What is the role of the Wolfram Notebook Indexer? In the old 5.2 packages, by putting names in the master index, I could set it up so that if one placed the cursor after a function name, defined in a package, and clicked Mathematica would jump to the help notebook for that name. It no longer does this. Instead it does a search and then says it could not find any items matching the search term. How does one set up general notebook searching and test that it is working properly? I thought this was the whole point of switching to the new documentation system. -- David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/
