Recently I had to delete the registry entry for WordPerfect on my PC and
reinstall same. When the new installation (including the new X3, so
named because it is version 13 that superstition won't allow) my ability
to search WP files for text strings was no more. The WP newsgroup said
that this ability is not included with an OEM version of WP, but it
seemed to carry over from an earlier full version that I had installed
before getting the newer OEM version. Instead, the WP newsgroup
suggested to install Google Destop as an alternative. There is a
plug-in to make text in WordPerfect files available for Google Desktop
search.
Google Desktop has been a problem. Soon after installation, Google
Desktop use up to 99% of my CPU for searching the same file for a day or
more: a graphics file. I contacted Google help, which told me which
file was at fault and asked me to send same to them. No reply after
doing so. I deleted the graphics file. For several days Google Desktop
ran OK but now it once again is taking large portions of CPU. I have
uninstalled it now.
Does anyone else know of a similar program for Google Desktop? The real
reason that I want this kind of program is to replace the text search
for WordPerfect.
If necessary, I will uninstall WP and reinstall from version 5 to the
latest version in hopes of getting somehow the search facility back, but
this is likely to take two days or more of my time.
