   Pros, Cons

   I love DocFetcher! I discovered this gem of a program when Windows stopped supporting string searches in word processors other than Word.

   🏁 Competitors: the generic string search available in Windows, Agent Ransack, Locate32, Everything by Voidtools

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful intuitive interface. easy to use, once you set up the index.

   👎 Cons:    If you have a large collection of files to index, you will eventually be unable to search all your documents at the same time. you have to set up separate indexes and search each one separately. available in a variety of versions, up to 64 bit.|The help files are good. however, learning how to set up an index can be frustrating.

• Tool to parse, index, and search local documents? - Windows

  I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: over 1 year ago

• Docfetcher is a cross-platform free and open source desktop search application

  As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago

• Career Advice for a fresh graduate who wants to enter Structural Engineering field

  What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you organize yourself?

  I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there any plans to add Bitcoin support to the Coinbase Wallet on PC?

  I created a Coinbase Wallet following the link from https://wallet.coinbase.com to install a Web browser extension but was disappointed to see it doesn't support BTC. Apparently, only the mobile app versions of the Coinbase Wallet support BTC. Are there any plans to add that functionality to the desktop version of the wallet? Source: about 2 years ago

• I lost over $50,000 from a DApp phishing mining pool scam in Coinbase Wallet

  A few days ago, all my money, $58,797, in my Coinbase Wallet was drained from my wallet without me knowing about it until I opened my wallet. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can someone explain to me why conversions on coinbase cost little to no gas fee but on other exchanges it is above $100 USD?

  I'm going to assume by "coinbase wallet" you mean coinbase.com and not the literal Coinbase Wallet. Coinbase Wallet would have fees identical to MetaMask, as those gas fees are from Ethereum, all wallets pay the same. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to Buy HOGE on COINBASE

  Some cryptocurrencies, like Hoge Finance, can only be purchased with another cryptocurrency on decentralized exchanges. To buy Hoge Finance, you’ll need to first purchase Ethereum (ETH) and then use ETH to buy Hoge Finance. And to do that, you need what’s called a self-custody wallet. Here’s how to do that using Coinbase Wallet for U.S. residents. Source: over 2 years ago
