No, you misinterpret my comment. The point is that PDF searches

software on your system.

Right - so whereas a PDF can only be searched by tool which can read
PDFs, a text file can only be searched by a tool which can read
text*.... hmm.

So you can suit your search methods to software familiar to you.

Why would anyone under the age of 30 be familiar with arcane stuff
like grep? I find it hard to find anyone under that age who even knows
that computers _have_ a commandline, and for GUI users,
double-clicking a file of any sort merely starts the default viewer
with whatever search facilities there are.


(* okay, I grant you, you could use a disk editor to search a text
file - probably, if it was 7-bit ascii, and stored in sequential
bytes...)
