Document indexing

Availability

Watched-folder document indexing is unavailable in the current release. Overshow does not scan chosen folders or add whole files to search through a document watcher.

Text from a document can still be captured while it is visible in an application you allow. This captures the visible text, rather than indexing every page of the file. The usual capture permissions, exclusions and pause controls apply.

Finding text

Search for a distinctive phrase, name or identifier from the document, then narrow by application and time. Open the matching source to check what was captured. On the Mac, Ask can use that captured text as evidence for an answer.

See screen capture and search.
