Subject: Dream App, Find command
How about an app to replace the Find command in Windows? Since there's
no decent database program, as Butch pointed out, I use Notepad text
documents and the folders and subfolders structure of Windows as my
databases for music, movies, books, etc. I use the Windows Find command
to search this makeshift database. I am using XP, so I don't know if
this has improved any or not; but the Windows Find dialog that comes up
is very cumbersome and takes several screens to go through and tabbing
through several items repeatedly to get to the spot where to just tell
the system what I want to look for. A nice straight forward Find command
would be great. The Find dialog in Notepad and Wordpad are simple and
easy to use. The Find dialog in MS Word is easy enough too, although you
can't just F3 to the next occurance of the found text like you can in
Notepad. Why can't a Find dialog for Windows and searching your hard
drive or some subfolders on it be straight forward?
TTFNm,
Marilyn
