So disappointed to hear this Christian. It was perhaps my biggest wish for the next version of DT. Thanks for all your hard work of you and the debs anyway Christian. I am sure there will be much in DT3 to surprise and delight.
Summarised and highlighted search results is perhaps one of my favourite features of Acrobat.
I referenced an example here: [url]What does the future hold for DEVONthink?]
David, you might try looking at Acrobat Pro. It has some advanced searching parameters including stemming and proximity. Ideally for these to work well, the pdf documents have to be catalogued by Acrobat, a process which doesn’t work very well with files stored inside a DT database. You have to rather export and index the files you want to catalogue with Acrobat.
Its a while since I have used it but I recall that Foxtrot Professional also has fairly sophisticated search parameters and an ability to display the results in a list format.
