There are technical reasons why a HTML-based product like TW can't search external documents. Without an indexing system, a simple search might take hours or days.
But what I want is just to have an associated index or key field that gets its contents added to the search. Then I could paste in 50 to 100 keywords (phrases if possible) that could be used in searches.
