Fabian Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello The checkboxes of the pop up here are not mentioned in the Help Files. And the point below. An automatic search would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewster Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Is this the right spot in the help docs? http://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/Win13/Default.htm#topics/10_ref/prefs/preferences_external_websites.htm In Windows 10 Accordance 13.1.1 "Website" appears on the Amplify toolbar button, and when right-clicking, but not in the Amplify menu. Automatic search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automatic search? Yes this is the right section. If you go to a website (the one which are predefined), then the search for the highlighted word runs automatic.

Drewster Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) If you go to a website (the one which are predefined), then the search for the highlighted word runs automatic. Hmmm, that works for me. If I select a word, right-click, and for example select Wikipedia, it brings up an entry in Wikipedia for that word. The feature doesn't work right? Or the docs need to be updated? (I think the docs cover it, in the "Note" re 3 asterisks.) Edited June 16, 2020 by Drewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewster Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I saw the link but didn't understand. Thanks for the clarification. You'd like to use the External Website feature to add the capability to search PDFs on the local file system. I like that idea. I assume this is in lieu of adding those PDFs to Accordance as User Tools. I don't expect the Amplify to Website feature to allow me to search local files. I think local search of files is a different capability than launching a URL. But along the lines of your thinking, I wonder if you could set up some kind of script that does that (e.g. launches pdfgrep or similar or other utility)? Perhaps using localhost: or 127.0.0.1 or file:/// to invoke that script? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
