Searching in Vista for text in Wordperfect Files

Searching in Vista for text in Wordperfect Files
Wed, 2 Apr 2008 22:11:57 -0400
Has anyone been able to use vista's search feature to search the contents of 
WP files? I use home Premium and WPX3. Alternatively, has anyone been able 
to use quickfinder with Vista? Quickfinder crashes when trying to build an 
index.

Same here on my german Vista home premium with service pack 1: Quickfinder 
within WP 13 (13.0.0.568) crashing all the time when I want to build a new 
index! Must be a bug!

No, it is not possible to search in vista`s search feature the contents of 
wp files although the *.wpd extension is registered correctly, Quickfinder 
is crashing all the time....so what is to do? Corel knows that this is a 
bug?

Christoph,

even under Win XP, I prefer Copernic Desktop Search to Quickfinder. It 
is very fast, and in contrast to Quickfinder, keeps the list of the 
files found open until you close it, and it also gives you a preview of 
the files. That helps you to open just the one file you need. And, above 
all, Copernic Desktop Search is free. I suppose it will run under Vista too.
