Find all occurrences of a term, through multiple Word documents and examine each instance in its local context (i.e. extracted)

Hi all

I'm looking for an easy way to find all occurrences of a term, through multiple Word documents and review of each instance of the word in its local context (i.e. extracted) without having to open each document.

For example, if I want to search the term "religious atmosphere", the search results would be something like:

Paper 22: '.. '. but the religious atmosphere had not evolved to the point where... »

Paper 22: "...". not that the religious atmosphere was still too controversial for a settlement... »

Document 35: "...". If anything, the religious atmosphere was still little developed for a city... »

Document 35: "...". it in no way improve the religious atmosphere until the decision was... »

Paper 42: '.. '. up to - what point, the religious atmosphere was very collegial with all the elements of... »

Any Microsoft or utility 3 rd-party which can put each instance-by-side and in a context extract would be a real, real help!

Any ideas?

Thank you

Jay

Ken is perhaps more familiar with the Agent Ransack, I am, but a quick check she finds every instance of a string of text and shows the term in the context of a single line subject to the following:

  • At the end of the search, a list of the files found is accompanied by some statistics.
  • If you select one of the files found, each 'hit' for this file is displayed in the context of a single line.  In other words, you get a list of hits in context as in your original question.  Instead, you get a list of, say, 42 documents and then if you have selected the Document 22, you will see:
    • «.. but the religious atmosphere had not evolved to the point where... »
    • «.. . not that the religious atmosphere was still too controversial for a settlement... »
  • The display of content seems to work with OK * .doc, *.docx and files *.pdf; not so many other types of files - even if it looks for text in all kinds of other files.

Agent Ransack is free.  Download and try it.  If you don't like, just uninstall.
