How to Find a File Looking Inside It

# How to find files by looking for words within it
#
# One way I found to do this is to install Google Desktop (isn't Google awesome?)
#
# You may wish to install wvWare and catdoc first, to be able to look inside Microsoft documents like doc, docx. Just go to terminal and type:


sudo apt-get install wv


sudo apt-get install catdoc



# Get this app from http://desktop.google.com

Introduction

First of all: what "my two cents" means?
It's an American idiomatic expression. Take a look at this.

Why another blogger?
That is an old idea to share the solutions to the problems that eventually shows up at computers. I've kept them, and I shall now share them.

Why in english?
That is because I wish to share these to the world. Don't think I'm a megalomaniac [indeed I'm a psychiatrist], don't take it too seriously, it's just my two cents.

Apresentação

Este blog é minha pequena contribuição para ajudar a resolver os bugs nossos de cada dia.

Pretendo escrever as soluções também em inglês para que possa ser útil para o mundo todo.

Um abraço,
desgua.
