TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've been playing with a program called Searchwithin, from
software995. It works much like the Google desktop search,
but will index PDFs and MS Office files and will also index
mapped network volumes. Doesn't work with Frame files
(I haven't found anything remotely affordable that will so far).
