Will EA Search look in Linked Docs?

[JimK]

My goal here is to be able to search on a phrase and have the search return a reference to any linked documents whose content has that phrase.  From the main EA menu the search I am referring to is "Edit/Find In Project...".  Even using "Search List - Extended" I did not see the capability to do that.  Am I missing something? How can I do this search?

Jim,

I highly doubt that the search function will look in the linked documents. (I assume you mean the RTF linked documents, and not external documents that are linked to elements)

If you really need something like this you could write an addin-search. The linked documents are stored in the database in a zip compressed format, so you would have to unzip before you can search in them. I'm just a bit sceptic as to how performant something like this would be.
