Searching in multiple text files (PDFs, .doc) with Premium version

[chrizcringle 0]

I need to be able to search for a string of text/words as fast as possible in numerous documents - can this be done with Evernote premium? 

I've tried putting a bunch of PDFs in a note, and then enter search words, but it doesn't really jump to exactly where the text is inside the PDF/doc. I need this for a school project. 

Thanks.

The best search with marking the search string inside of PDFs is still the one using the legacy client.

With v10 AFAIK there is no search inside of attached documents that will show the search string. You know it is there, but get no hint where to look.

Thanks for your reply

Ok, if that's the best option with Evernote I guess I need to "downgrade" to a older version. I would think this solution must be highly relevant for other users than me, so kinda strange it's not been incorporated in a newer version.

I think maybe it can be done with a paid version of Adobe Acrobat, but I would also like to include .docs etc.

New or old EN will search and find the PDFs that contain the search phrase.  You have to Ctrl+F or equivalent in a native PDF app to find the occurrences within the document.
