Stephen,

I’m not surprised you were confused by my post - I’m confused by this whole area.

I honed in on Zoot because I gained the impression from posts here that, while it is an information “organizer”, it is also the best information manager for those who just wanted to dump information into a program and then find it easily again. But as I said in my original post, I have yet to trial it.

I have recently tried Notelens, which on the face of it is ideal, but in practice I found it crashed continuously when importing my data. Maybe I was just unlucky.

It may well be the case that something like AskSam is the solution. Perhaps truly quick, robust and intelligent hard-disk indexing (as promised in Longhorn?) will one day take care of our information retrieval needs.
