I checked out glimpse. It is a text indexer, and can do some sophisticated searches. It requires a plugin to handle Word & Excel and another for pdfs, and seems not to be able to handle other file types. It does not seem to have a good 'browse' capability after the search is done. A good start at an excellent tool. Part of the problem, for me, is that it has to be compiled from source. As a newbie, I don't know how to do that in a way that will work in MD. It is a commercial tool, but is free for personal use, but 'free' comes with no support. Any other tools come to mind? -- Thank you, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
