I know. Linux is a new venture platform for them. It will take time 
before the really improve the product to the level of the Win stuff.

I use in Windows the Lite version, and it's search capabilities are 
extremely simple: no boolean logic.

Well, from the sounds of it, that would be expected to. dtSearch 
aparrently carries a hefty price to go with its abilities.

Proprietary is much easier to manage so it would be the norm. However, 
I thought I saw on an earlier serch result some apps that could work 
on text, SQL, PHP, etc., databases. I can't remember where it was. 
I'll have to look again, as it doesn't look like this app can do what 
you want.  I get so ticked off when I forget to bookmark where I've 
been. Unless those pesky crows have been eating my breadcrumbs left 
behind...
