I know that the search feature in Notes is quite good. It is able to search inside pdf, document and worksheet attachments and Notes Database entries
However, when I am working in Domino Designer, it feels lacking. This is probably and hopefully due to lack of knowledge.
One of the things that frustrates me is the ability to search which notes objects are calling a particular form, view or lotusscript function. Currently I click inside a method, press Ctrl+F to activate the search window. Once in the search window, I make sure that the scope is for all objects and Wrap at start/end is checked. Click on Find Next to start the search process.
One of the problems with this approach is that I have to go to each notes form/view/lotusscript library and repeat the process.
Another problem is that it does not seem to be working correctly. I mean I enter the word HeadCount in the method of one of the views. After doing my search, it does not find the method containing these key words. However, I know for a fact that the word HeadCount is found in the ViewSelection Method. Why is the search not finding this?
Did a google search and found this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ac768e36-be57-4306-966c-5089b0c4d50e&displaylang=en
It's a windows desktop search add-in for Lotus Notes. It's brief description is Now easily find Lotus Notes items and search their content.
Has anyone used this? Is it the answer to my problems? I will be trying this out soon in a XP Virtual Machine. Are there better options?
