Excellent app for searching for words in Word, Excel, Power Point and other files.

Excellent application. It manages to find matching words inside DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, RTF and all types of text files. I like that there is no database to maintain and it searches in real time.

Brilliant app. It can search inside many not files like docx/xlsx/pptx/doc/xls/ppt/vsdx/vdx/xmind/odp/odg/odt/ods and text files. I like the fact that it lists all files that it tried to check for. Single portable executable, no faff around installing anything. It can also search using non-English language Unicode characters. It made my far easier by searching hundreds of Word/Excel/Power Point files in office.

1. In a folder containing 3 *.docx files (at least), containing the sought string, Office Search found just one. 2. I found no option for case-sensitive search, I have no clue if the search is case sensitive or not. 3. I found no option to prevent the tool from showing the files in which the string was NOT found. 4. There are some minor issues, too.

Case sensitive search has been added from v2. If you click on STATUS column of search result grid, it will sort files based on status, so Found files will appear at the top for easier viewing or just press F9 to filter Found files only. Without checking the content of the files it is difficult to comment why the app did not flag those as matched. We have introduced ANY / ALL options now to avoid such confusions.
