CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on December 10, 2008

Rider 8 Tools may have been written by a lawyer with other lawyers in mind, but the well-designed text-searching application is versatile enough for anyone who frequently authors or refers back to long or technical documents--business professionals, academics, researchers, and so on.

The application bundles four search tools into one to search one or more documents for specific words and characters within a number of parameters, and within one document or many. Fast. You can limit the search for a whole word, case, or root (wild card); a dates bracket, even part of the file name.Rider 8 Tools will even scrounge around for defined terms and their definitions, and can also seek out capitalized phrases that may have slipped your notice.

Here's what we like most: searching from recent files or from documents or folders in the file tree, scrolling through each finding, and viewing or editing the section in the original document. Rider 8 Tools also scans and saves text from PDF documents. We'd still like to be able to search Excel documents and see a tutorial showing new users how to get started--your best bet is to begin at the upper left of the interface and work your way clockwise.

Publisher's description

From Rider 8 Software :

The user may search and display use of defined terms, words and phrases in one or multiple text documents (including Word and PDF documents). The user may search by proximity to other words or phrases. All search results are displayed within Rider 8 Tools in an easy to review format. Rider 8 Tools will open the search document and automatically navigate to any chosen selection.

Version 1.9.1.1 includes a new tool, InDocFind.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.9.1.1 adds a tool that searches multiple documents for up to six words per doc, and does some back-end work to improve speeds.
