What's new in Text Filterer 1.6 (06/06/2006)
MS Excel files are made searchable. You can search either by entire
files, in the same manner as with any other file types, or, alternatively,
what is specific to Excel files, selectively search by Excel columns
and rows. In the latter case, search results that come from many Excel
files are presented by columns and rows in one view as if they came
from one file. You have the ability to apply sophisticated multicolumn
filters to column data in fact using Text Filterer as the data analysis
tool. This can be particularly useful when working with a collection
of similarly organized Excel files.
Consult online help for details.

to include PDFConverterX into Text Filterer!
