    Default XP searching InDesign 2 files

    I am new to the forums and have found the archives to be a tremendous help already! I didn't find anything about searching a large number of InDesign files for specific text. Any help would be appreciated, as I need to search 5000+ forms for specific text (that will eventually be replaced) and don't want to open them one at a time and search.

    Operating System: Windows XP Professional 5.1
    Software: InDesign 2.0

    Thanks.

    That's a very useful utility! I just downloaded, installed it and did a search for a word and it worked GREAT!
