ODFind — Open Document Find Tool

Based on our ODF Decrypting tools, ODFind digs through your Open Document Format (ODF) files using regular expression or substring searches. It lets you preview the documents it finds, launch them for editing, and keep multiple search results on the screen at one time.

When ODFind encounters an encrypted document, it queries you for its password until one that you supply succeeds in accessing the document's contents or you decide to give up on that document. Any successfully supplied passwords are then tried on all further encrypted documents, just in case that you've been reusing passwords, before prompting you again1.

For your convenience, ODFind remembers these passwords until you exit the program. In the interest of full disclosure, you should understand that your computer's memory is not wiped of any passwords that you have entered. You should not use ODFind on encrypted documents on a public terminal or on a computer that might be subject to forensic investigation before it is powered down.

Description:Looking for something in one of your Open Document Format (ODF) files, somewhere on your hard disk? Are some of those files encrypted but you still want to search them (provided that you have the password for them)?
