Keyword Searches Using Adobe Acrobat Index Search

A full-text index has been created whereas you can search that index rather than running a full-text search of each individual PDF in the catalog. An index search produces a results list with links to the occurrences of the indexed documents.

Note: To search a PDF index, you must open Acrobat as a stand-alone application, not within your web browser.

In Mac OS, indexes created with some older versions of Acrobat are not compatible with the Acrobat X Search feature. If you have upgraded recently, update the index before using Acrobat X to search.

1. Choose Edit > Advanced Search.
2. Type the search text, and then click Show More Options, near the bottom of the Search window.
3. For Look In, choose Select Index.
4. Select bashcd14.pdf from the list, or click Add and add bashcd14.pdf.
5. Click OK to close the Index Selection dialog box, and then choose Currently Selected Indexes from the Look In menu.
6. Proceed with your search as usual.

Note: Selecting the Match Whole Word Only option when searching indexes significantly reduces the time taken to return results.

NOTE: These instructions are for use with ADOBE ACROBAT READER version X or higher, earlier versions may have slight variations. Refer to the Adobe Reader Help for questions on searching using an index.
