Much too slow to be usable.  Get GOFer, a DA that searches for text in
all sorts of files (Word, MacWrite, PageMaker, etc.) and does more
complex, boolean searches as well.  Best of all, it's free if you buy
DiskTop, which by itself is worth the money.

GOFer can save search results to a file, and since it's a DA, it's
always convenient to use.  Fast too.
