Question Use search engine to search inside pdf files in my laptop's folder?

[terryvalencia]

Working scenario:

1) I want books which have this " my-exact search keyword".

2) But I'm not sure of "my-exact search keyword"already. I only know "my non exact search keyword".

3) I type that in search engine and the search engine(This is offline search engine based on my laptop not google or bing) brings out the various pages that has this results. Like in google books. And from there, I can see all relevant pages by clicking "next".

I'm not sure if there's a ready made application for it.

You need a grep tool for windows

Baregrep Pro

Bare Metal Software > BareGrep - Free grep for Windows

it can search any file for any text. It can search any Drive even on Netwerk drives.

there is no such tool to do exactly what you want and this is as close as you’re going to get

are there FOSS tools?
