So many notes I know not what to do!

Dear Mr. Paul Walters,
Sorry for posting so quickly.
My environment is Ventura 13.6.7.
There are still cases where music-related apps are not supported by Sonoma,
so I have not been able to update my environment to this engine yet.
After reading your post here, I decided to try FoxTrot Pro.
Before that, I was checking out HoudahSpot’s email search function.
Other people’s posts were also very helpful.
Lately, I have been checking the contents of emails I received a long time ago, so
I would like to study CC-Command and Easy Data Transform apps as well as Tinderbox.
Yours, WAKAMATSU (from Japan)

Dear Paul Walters,

Using FoxTrot Search Pro to search for “character strings” written in Tinderbox notes
I am experimenting with ways to search.
How can I “write instructions” to find the desired character?
I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance.
Yours, WAKAMATSU
P.S
Happy Christmas!

If I have a note in a Tinderbox document that mentions “Copernican theory”, I would search for the document with the FoxTrot Pro parameters:

Contents, any metadata or file name
Includes consecutive words "Copernican theory"**
All indexed locations

and with the relevant search sources selected for your personal configuration of indices.

Note that FTP is going to find the document not the note, because the document as far as FTP is concerned is an XML file that FTP itself cannot render.

So, you would use FTP to find a Tinderbox document that you have perhaps lost track of on your computer, but you would want to open that found document in Tinderbox and use Tinderbox “Find” to locate the relevant note(s).

**FTP can search for exact strings rather than “consecutive words” but that is a resource hog and the developer recommends not using “exact strings” as a search parameter.

Dear Mr. Paul Walters,
Is it better to specify “xml” when specifying the content in All index locations?
I am currently experimenting with searching by specifying additional folder paths.
I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion.
Yours, WAKAMATSU

If you want FoxTrot to find Tinderbox .tbx files include XML here:

Dear Mr.Paul Walters,
Thanks a lot.

Another Hall of Fame post … so many great incremental formalization nuggets here.

Thanks to all
