TECHNICAL QUESTION: OK, Ypsidixit has tried to do her part by trying to answer kind-reader questions...

... as they came up, so she feels it's OK to throw out a question for a change, in the hopes of finding an answer.

Here's the deal. I have Mac OS X and a pile of documents on the desktop in .DOC format. What I need is a search engine like the Word 5.1 search feature, with a preview box feature that will allow me to search for key phrases and preview the results, so that I can quickly assess if the search results are what I'm looking for.

Ypsidixit has done untold hours of research trying to find the answer to this question. She downloaded blinkx, the new search engine for Macs, and tried it, but it lacks the useful preview-box feature. She also considered transferring her files to an email system, using it as a data-storage system, but didn't find one with the useful preview box feature for Macs. Is there a way I can search my .DOC documents and preview them so as to decide, "no...no...no...yes, that's the one I want"? Ypsidixit is grateful for any kind guidance from those more knowledgeable than she. Thanks in advance.

Laura,

Are you looking for a small graphic of the document, or are you looking to see a summary of the text within the context of the document?

Hi Brian; I am looking for (realizes this is very hard to describe) a preview box showing an excerpt of the document showing the highlighted search term and the few sentences around it. Word 5.1 had this great feature, which I used constantly, but I'm no longer able to use this antiquated version of Word with OS X.

Here's a related article about Word 5.1 nostalgia from Wired magazine.

"Nostalgia for Word 5.1 is so rampant, TidBits satirized it with an April Fools' announcement that Microsoft will be releasing Word 5.1 for Mac OS X."
