I need to search numerous saved copies of Keepass databases. I think there is a tool that I need in order to unencrypt the databases into plain English.
Thanks for your help,

If you have History enabled in KeePass (this is the default) you will have copies of most of your changes. You can search History by running the full search (Ctrl F) and selecting the History toggle.
The only thing not saved is deleted entries. These are moved to the Recycle Bin group and stay there until you delete them.

Alternatively, export the database as XML and search the exports.
Warning: XML files are NOT encrypted and your passwords will be in plain text.

cheers, Paul
