Once again, we've run into one of the many problems as a result of using builder
as a front-end to our tools.

OK, here's the scenario:

Our tools use "Viewer 4.0" which has the find capability in its menu to
search on a string within a document. However, our users have requested
that they be able to search across several documents for a certain string.

Is there an API client or anything that could replace the Find item in the 
builder menu and search across a set of documents instead of in just one document.
If some great soul has already doen this, would you please be kind enough to
share this with us.

Thanks, 
Malur
