Hi Jérôme,
FoxTrot 5.7.2 works well for highlighting "eact string" search terms. It
also fixes the annoying problem of obsolete references to files that have
been moved. I am currently rearranging my pdf library which involves the
shifting of many files. FoxTrot 5.7.1 would not remove old file locations,
regardless of the method used to update indices. FoxTrot 5.7.2 seems to
have overcome this problem.
Overall, I am very happy with FoxtroPro as it allows me to find needles in
my document haystacks. Please, keep up the good work.
Cheers
Dirk
