How can I search a directory of password protected word files?

[Guest]

I have many files that are pass word protected in a directory. But when I do
a search for a key word, it doesn't search the password protected files. Is
there a search option allowing me to enter a password?
Thank you.

In a word - no.

If you think about what's involved, with the potential for hundreds or
thousands of passwords being required (in some cases maybe more one than per
file) - and the understanding of various application file formats and
decryption algorithms that might be required in the search engine, I think
it's unlikely that you'll see this kind of feature, ever.
