I thought I saw the answer to this somewhere, but I can't find it now. Can you search for a text-based file by content, i.e. search through all your files for those containing a specific string? (Not including scanned PDFs, PNGs, etc.)

This is separate from a feature of being able to search within a file -- I imagine that depends on the viewer. (Do any of the viewers on the iLiad provide this?)

Thanks,
