**Every 3 seconds**, an academic abandons a citation search due to PDF overload. You’ve faced this:
Ctrl+F fails with 10,000+ research papers in multiple formats (PDF/HTML/DOCX)
WordsDigger solves this with **offline, cross-format search** while keeping your data private.
3 Ways WordsDigger Beats Traditional Academic Search
In-depth full-text search
Problem: 62% of researchers can’t locate all instances of “machine learning” in their Zotero libraries due to format fragmentation.
Solution:
- Search terms like `"neural networks" (filetype:pdf OR filetype:docx)`
- Results show exact locations with snippet previews
Rescue “Lost” References in Old Formats
Case Study*: Dr. Alvarez (Neuroscience, UC Berkeley) needed citations from 2003s PPT conference slides.
- Traditional tools skipped embedded notes in PPT files
- WordsDigger found 17 critical references in 11 seconds
Time Saved: 3 weeks vs. manual review
Validate Citations Across Formats
The search supports a variety of common file formats, and deep full-text search of specified folders (you can search for text in PDFs, not images.)
- Catch uncited sources in HTML lab notebooks
- Verify references in XLS supplementary data
