Naturel+ allows you to search the contents of your files. It can, for example, search for a term in a Word document without having to open it. A bit like Google, but for your local (or network) files!
Naturel+ allows you to easily find a term or specific phrase in your document, which can be very useful for Word or Excel documents.
With the help of Naturel+, your queries can become precise, efficient and faster. Customizable parameters will make this software an incredibly flexible and easy to use tool. In addition, Naturel+ offers new search options, such as looking into paths, directory names and file names.
Here are the types of files supported by Naturel+:
Naturel+ works through database searches, user specific, which will then index their content for a fast and efficient search.
The creation of an index can take some time depending on the number and size of the indexed files. However, it must do so only once. You can then update your database if you add files in the searched folder.
To create a database, click File => New => New database, which will open the database’s definition window.
You can explore the left pane folders you want to add to the database, and then drag the chosen files and folders to the right pane, which will hold the list of files to be indexed. When you're ready, you simply click on Index and then follow the instructions to save the database, and voila!
You can add criterias in the definition of the base like personnalized fields or choose to exclude certain documents from the database.
You can create as many databases as you want, your files will be grouped according to your needs!
Once indexing is complete, you can begin the search.
First, select a database to open in search mode. (File = > Open = > Open database).
Then, you just have to type the search words, either in your own words or using Boolean operators, and click OK!
The results’ grid is displayed in the top pane and displays the documents in order of relevance.
Double click a file to view, and a window will open with a preview of the file in WYSIWYG with the search terms highlighted.
To open the file itself, click the External Application icon and read the file you have been looking for!
