The full-text indexes created by Acrobat Catalog can represent hundreds or thousands of documents, and—compared with searching a document word by word one page at time—searching a full-text index is very fast.  \nA full-text index is an alphabetized list of all the words and terms used in a collection of documents. The Search command uses full-text indexes to find words and terms quickly in the documents without having to open the documents.  \nIndexed document collections can be extremely large. Electronic document publishers can, for example, build an index for all the PDF documents that fit on a CD-ROM. Corporate index publishers can build an online index for all the PDF documents that fit on a network file server. The Search command lets you search thousands of documents in seconds.  \nUsing the Search command, you can quickly search indexed PDF documents for single words or terms, phrases, or arbitrary character patterns specified with wild-card characters. You can also search for documents that contain combinations of words and phrases. You can, for example, search for documents that contain the phrase status report and that contain some form of the word succeed, such as succeed, success , or successful.  \nUnlike most other full-text search programs, the Acrobat Search command can find words and terms in illustrations, graphs, and formatted tables. Because it searches PDF documents and because PDF is based on the PostScript page description language, which represents illustrations and artwork as well as text, the Search command can find all the words on a page, no matter where or how they are used. The Search command can even find words that are rotated or attached to a curved line in an illustration.  \nIn addition to finding indexed words and terms, the Search command can find documents that contain specific field values. The Search command can find, for example, all the documents that have Author fields that contain the name von Neumann , and that have Keyword fields that contain binary or program.  \nThe Search command can also find documents that were created or modified during a spe","cbCaimRKb99DbSMN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimRKb99DbSMN","pdf",543814,95,"English","# How to use this online guide\n# About the Search feature\n## Search command concepts\n## Searching indexed collections\n# Search buttons\n# Starting a search\n## Choose Query or click Search\n## Select indexes and options\n## Click Search and view results\n# Limiting search results\n# Using search options\n# Using the Refine search feature\n# Searching with AND, OR, and NOT (Boolean expressions)\n# Viewing search results\n# Setting search preferences\n# About Acrobat indexes\n# Troubleshooting searches\n# Keyboard shortcuts","[{\"question\":\"What is the Acrobat Search feature and what does it search?\",\"answer\":\"The Search feature lets Acrobat Reader perform full-text searches across PDF collections indexed with the Acrobat Catalog program.
