My wife is the one currently with a Chromebook. (ex. Tonight as we zipped off for a quick bite to eat, she warned me not to put anything on the back seat floor for her chromebook was there.)

Anyway, she has given me another task since I solved her last one involving chromebooks.
"How may she search with her chreombook previous years documents for names and bring up the text the name appears in?"
She can do this easily on her Win7 Toshiba and wishes me to find a way to do it with chromebook.
Drop box is considered the main site to search.
This is a Church oriented search. At work she has other means.

I will probably look at it in the next few days.

Any suggestions?
