i would like to learn how to do multiple search from a large number of pdf documents

[williamcattr]

Is there a way to search a pdf by keyword that will only show results for a particular chapter? In other words, if I have an open book/open note exam, and there is a particular word that is part of a test question, how do I go about limiting the results to one chapter, instead of getting 100 results that will come from a whole PDF book? Takes too much time to scroll through 100 plus results, however, if a given chapter only has 7 references to that term, then I'll be much better off if I can find that term from one or two chapters.

What if I want to replace the words with nothing not even space, just delete them, there is an option?

[misterwill]

Great video! But I can't figure out how to search for exact words without the results showing the word with a prefix or suffix. For example, I search for "form" and the results show "perform, " "formed, " etc. I only want "form"
