Searching through all the PDFs

You know when you want to look up something in the PDF documentation but can't figure out exactly which file it's in...

The new version of Abode Reader (6.0) allows you to search multiple documents.

Click the binocular search button and a search dialog column appears on the right. Clack in what you want to search
Click on 'All PDF documents in'
Select 'Browse for Location...' from the drop down list
Navigate to 'C:/SFP/Manual/english' or whatever's appropriate
Choose your options and hit 'Search'.

It's not as fast as when an index file is provided but pretty useful nonetheless.

I downloaded just the minimum requirement at 8.7MB.

Adobe Reader 6.0 I found it to be slow (at startup). 5.5 works OK for me.
