AutoHotkey Community

If you are already using Google Desktop, then you probably know how useful the handy search-bar can be. If you forgot where you left a specified file or want to read only a single line in a document without opening it, then Ctrl+Crtl is our best frend.

Well GDS will surely find our AutoHotkey script files on the harddrive but it cannot read it's contents.

Now here is the solution for this:

• Download and install Larry's Any Text File Indexer plugin for GDS
• During installation, LarrysAnyTextFileIndexer.conf file will pop-up on Notepad
• DO NOT CLOSE THIS NOTEPAD WINDOW!
• Insert this text to the end of the file in Notepad:
  Quote:
  AddNewExtension "ahk"
• Save the file
• Now you can close this Notepad window
• A confirmation dialog will appear to warn you the plugin integration into GDS
• Click OK

You can add more file extensions to the list with the "AddNewExtension xxx" command.

If you already installed Larry's Any Text File Indexer, then you have to uninstall it and reinstall using the steps above. It is necessery since you cannot change it's config file after installation.

awesome. cheers for the tip - that's going to be extreemly useful!

Since my collection of AHK files is still small, I am happy using Agent Ransack or the FileMenu Tools which can do also Replace operations.
They have to scan the file on each request, but it is still fast.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, it can be precious for a number of uses.

You can also try InfoRapid Search & Replace.

Google Desktop is overkill for this task, IMO
