Re: Key word coloring for .txt files

Beside the very good answers about Toad searching files and other tools, I
think your question is about Microsoft searching/indexing. Do you want to
use activate indexing on SQL files? So that when you use find in windows,
it uses the index to search your code? That is possible and very easy in
windows 7. Go to indexing options, use the button advanced and go to the
file types. Add there the sql extension if it is not there. Wait some time
so that indexing has stopped......
It works for me. I have added all extensions that Toad used and when I type
a table name, it shows all files which refers to this table rather fast.
I must admit that I don't like Microsoft searching, so most of times I use
the other suggestions.
It should be possible in other Windows versions too, but the one in Windows
7 is the first I used. Before I found it a nuissance.
It is also possible to use other tools which indexes files and add the sql
extension to them. Google Desktop, Copernicus Desktop, X1.
Some of them are free, some of them are very good. I liked X1 until it was
not free anymore, Copernicus is very good. Google desktop is nice, but it
came with a lot of stuff I did not need, but maybe now it is better.

Talking about all of this, maybe it is time to use this type of software
again, instead of Microsoft indexing.
