Why won't Google desktop search entire file contents to find words at end of word document?
If you are using office 2007 with .docx file types the whole file may not be searched, so convert it to a 97-2003, re-index and you should have a full cache of the document. This may not always be the cause and some of my files of this type work, but worth a go. Other reasons for the whole file not being searched include according to google help: * The file is a type that Google Desktop doesn't search. Google Desktop searches the full text of the following types of files: * ** PDF, .txt, and HTML files ** Email from Gmail, Apple Mail, and Microsoft Entourage ** iChat transcripts ** Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files ** Metadata for audio and video files (such as artist and album information) ** Address Book contacts, system preference panes, and file names for most other files including applications ** Any file types that have a Spotlight plug-in * The file is in a folder or disk that's in Spotlight's privacy list. Google Desktop does not search files that are in this list. * * The file is in a folder that Google Desktop doesn't search. Google Desktop doesn't search in most system and temporary folders. * * The text is near the end of an extremely large file (greater than 500Mb). Google Desktop "only" searches the first 536 million bytes of a file. * * Spotlight is disabled. Google Desktop shares some software components with Spotlight, so Spotlight must be enabled to use Google Desktop.
