Adobe InDesign search (InDesign CS-CC search) via PageZephyr Search Mac:
PageZephyr Search Mac is a stand-alone application from Markzware that allows users to search InDesign text in INDD documents. This content search is in conjunction with Apple Spotlight, and users can view the text in PageZephyr Search. Search the content of InDesign files (with or without the InDesign program present), and then display that text. Users can open documents in InDesign (with an appropriate InDesign version loaded). Copy and paste text into your favorite text editor or program!
Markzware‘s content search application, PageZephyr Search, can search Adobe Creative Suite and Creative Cloud INDD files. This stand-alone program can search InDesign file text for viewing or copying to text editors, word processors or layout apps.
