Were you searching in index or searching in file?

Hi,

The problem is the file is HUGE (230MB).
The file is called Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics - 18e.chm
It can be easily downloaded from sites like isohunt.com

Thank you for your help!
Pamela

I can reproduce the problem. I don't think it's related to that specific file, 
you just need a really large document. The search starts and pegs one core for 
10 seconds or so, and then it aborts and does not display any results.

If the file is very large, it takes some time for indexing.

Thanks for your help. 
I guess there is nothing I can do about it. 
Can you please suggest another program?

Thank you!

If you wait long enough, you should be able to search in the file.

I experience this problem as well (also with large 400mb file).  I don't 
believe that waiting solves the problem.  Any suggestions?  This app is great 
otherwise, but the faulty search function makes it unusable.

Same problem here ; The file is about 285Mo. 
I waited for a long (very long ?!) time but nothing happened. 
Any suggestions would be appreciated ;)
