Can I search MS Word comments?

Question

I have just come across a limitation in FileLocator Lite's inability to search comments in a Word docx.

For example,

FileLocator Lite does not find the phrase "dummy pronoun" which I've used in the comment shown.

So my question are:

• Is there any way to get FileLocator Lite to scan comments as well as
  text?
• Is this function available in the Pro version?

Many thanks

Answer 1

The Lite version of the product searches Word DOCX files using the MS Office IFilter, which may not retrieve comments from the document. However, the Pro version uses a bespoke 'reader' which does retrieve comments into the searchable text.

That's what I was hoping for
