How To Search Docs?

How do I search for keywords in Google Docs, and see the results with context?

• I have many documents stored on Google Docs as text or spreadsheets. In many of them I put little "todo: something notes" I would like to search though them and see a list somewhere Is that possible? Is there an iGoogle gadget, or desktop application, or website, or feature on Google that I have not noticed. Currently Google supports search docs via GMail, and from docs, but doesn't show search results previews. ie I want to see the content of the todo in the result. eg search results; MyBigDoc, todo: get out of bed MySpreadsheet, todo: make some money I had a look at the Google docs API and its pretty clear that this would be possible usnig a docs gadget or an iGoogle widget, or even a desktop app.

• Answer:

  You can simply just type "todo:" in the google docs search box. that will list all documents of all types that have "todo:" in them
