Finder can't find text in a document

Finder is no longer files that contain a specified string.  for example, I create a file named junk.docx that contains only the word junkstuff.  When Finder "undesirable" search, it finds the file, but it does not find the file when searching for 'junkstuff '?  It's as if text is stored is no longer for the search? thaks a lot.

If you need to search for a specific word or phrase in a document, look for them in the Spotlight, no viewfinder.  Just go up the left upper corner of your system menu bar and click on the magnifying glass.

  • Can I extract text from a document of numbers?

    I made a list of items in a document of numbers so I could get an alphabetical sort it. Now, I would like to copy this text into a Pages document. I select the text in the document numbers, copy it, then paste it into the page document, but what appears is the table cells and text. I don't want to just text, no table or cells. I know I did it easily in the distant past, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Can anyone help?

    Seems that I just answered this query in ' numbers rtf or pages of text (without formatting)... that day, I suggested FIRST by pasting in a TextEdit TEXT document (RTF, not).

    Alternatively, you can do this by creating a TEXT BOX in your document Pages and sticky in that is to replace the words Type to enter text into a new text box. Once she IS... text with tabs between cells... maybe then it can be copied and pasted anywhere in your document Pages and you can delete the text box.

    Memory, numbers and Pages 09 may have accepted info copied and pasted into a different path however since update to current versions of the use of an intermediate text box or through text using another app like TextEdit is necessary.

  • Acrobat Pro XI, after placing a watermark on a PDF file, applying an A / Web certificate, then save as a PDF - A, the text in the document becomes unfathomable.

    After adding a watermark in Acrobat Pro XI and / Web certifying and saving as a PDF - A, the text in the PDF file becomes unfathomable, and it seems that the pages have been flattened.  Under Save settings, I can see radio boxes I can uncheck to make sure that the pages become flattened. This translates into an error and the PDF file does not get it's / Web certification.  Is this a bug?  I can search for text in an A / Web document certified without watermark, fine.  I can search for text in a document with a watermark and no A / Web certification, very well.  But not with the two elements applied.  Why the watermark is causing a conflict?  Is there a way to solve or work around this problem?

    Thank you!

    I do not know what A / Web is. But if you save as PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b, and that transparency, it must be flattened. Flattening often lose the text completely, for example, if the text superimpose a transparent image.  Your watermark is probably using transparency. Not a glitch or bug.

  • How to set up the search to find key words in documents.

    I would get the search in Documents set up in Explorer.  Preferably right click on a folder and select find and have it search in all documents in this folder for a keyword.

    If not for the moment, I tried using the search within the Explorer box with my chosen open file and put the keyword in.  There is no option under the search box to select "to the bosom of documents".  I changed my settings to Index > advanced > Types of files tab to 'Properties Index and the file content' and included the folder containing the documents in the list in the index, but research in Solution Explorer is still not find the keyword in the text of the documents in the selected folder.

    No idea what I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    With the help of Explorer windows.  on the left side, select the folder you want to search.
    Then enter in the upper right corner (search box) you want to search for, lets say 'test '.

    The first Windows will search for all files that have a 'test' as part of the file name, but if you

    Scroll to the bottom of the search results, you can see the following:

    Search in:

    Libraries / computer / Custom / Internet / content of the file

    Click on the content of the file and it will search the files for the keyword 'test '.
