Hi,
We are planning on moving a large directory to a new server and I need to identify files (docx, xlsx and pptx) that contain hyperlinks to the old file location so that I can change them. I've found programs that can do this when the document is open eg AbleBits, but nothing that can search a whole directory or server at once.
Windows 7 search is great at finding text within a file but does not seem to look "inside" hyperlinks. For example the following search finds word documents with a link to the server but only if the hyperlink text in the document is the same as the link:
( type:=.doc OR type:=.docx ) AND content:"\\location of sever"
I been looking for ages to find an answer, I've found a similar question on a couple of other forums but unfortunately with no reply. It would be great if there is someone who knows it this search is possible or not - if nothing else at least I can stop looking!
Many thanks in advance for any help!
