This program searches the whole collection of PDF files from 2000 to 2010. Simply
enter your search string and press [Enter]. If you prefix the search string
with a "-" sign, the tool will find only documents that do not
contain the string. If only know part of the string, use the "*"
wildcard to leave out the remainder of the string.
The search results are returned as a list, sorted by month. You can click on the files
(just like in a browser). This will launch "acroread" to display the PDF file
by default. You can change the default by selecting "Tools | Settings | Document Settings",
then the "Document Handler" for "pdf", and using
"Edit" to change the setting.
Enjoy!
