Good day all:
I have recently switched from PALM to Dell AXIM X51v. While I appreciate the capabilities of the AXIM, the SEARCH is inadequate compared to the SEARCH of the PALM. In the PALM, the SEARCH program highlights the word or phrase after it is found, In my X51v, the SEARCH only opens the file in which the SEARCH word resides. Can anyone recommend a SEARCH program for the AXIM that is comparable to the PALM?
Thank you.

why is SEARCH always capitalized? It is an acronym? Anyway, the search in PPC searches files, while the search in Palm OS searches through datebook, addressbook, mail etc., not files. Try Pocket Informant (I think it has built in search, but don't take my work for it).

Just confirming that yes PocketInformant does have search and it works really well :approve:

Resco File Explorer has a text search like windows search, looks for the text within a file (like Palm) or you can search the titles. This searches the entire PPC including SD and CF cards, quite fast too. Its very comparible to my T5 Palm.

Pocket Infomant has a search option to search text within calendar, contacts, notes, etc. its very slow, can also search for titles only which is fast.

Good Luck, Jim
