Desktop search engine with Zoom?

[edsager]

I purchased Professional Zoom v.7 many years ago and found it to be a delightful piece of technology.

Now, with a lot of software being subscription-based, I would like to create my own desktop search. This would mean upgrading to v.8 Enterprise, I believe, as my library contains 30,000+ files and more than 80,000 pages in PDF documents.

Can v.8 be easily set up to search a specific location on a network (SMB) drive?

Can it highlight the words in PDF documents? Can I go directly to the highlighted word by clicking on the search result?

Is there any special knowledge I need to have to run this setup?

Are there any tutorials to set this up?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

It is possible to use Zoom as a desktop search solution (without having a web server).

These pages have the details

But the solution is pretty basic and hasn't been our focus. You might be better off running an Intranet (with Apache server) on your network, then run Zoom as per normal, with a web server.

For PDF word highlighting and jumping to specific pages in a PDF, then general answer is no, it isn't possible. There are too many different PDF viewers and no consistent interface.
