Saying file is like saying container.  There are all kinds.

I've been a professional software developer for 25+ years.  If you'll write 
me off-list, and tell me more about what goes into your file, I'll be happy 
to help all I can.

Alon,

I'm assuming you are maybe talking about issues of the horn list  
email that you are archiving?  Or is it something else.  No worries,  
there are solutions.


If you are using a Mac, all files are indexed for title, and files  
with text are indexed for content.  You simply use the Spotlight  
feature, or do a find file, and you are good to go.  The spotlight  
feature also works within the mail program to search your mail files.


I barely organize my computer files anymore--I just put them all in  
one place and search for the one I need.


If you aren't using a Mac, well, I'm sure somebody has kluged up a  
solution someplace.  ;-)


Best,

Carlisle

A Windows XP machine (the current Microsoft Operating System for PC's for
the last five or six years) has a Search function one can run on anything,
be it the entire local drive, part of the local drive, or a remote resource
like a network drive.  This comes as part of the Operating System - no
additional purchase or expense required.

Microsoft's latest OS, Vista, also includes similar functionality, I'm sure,
although I haven't seen it for myself yet.
