But Notebooks *does* handle images, and treats PDFs as embedded files (i.e. you can search and view them seamlessly).

However, I have to say that for me (i.e. working on macOS), FoxTrot is one of the best all-round search apps available.

I do use DEVONthink, but strictly as a database manager for large-scale document management. This is something it does extremely well (I generally use dual-language documents created as PDF bi-texts, i.e. with German-English pages interleaved so you can view them side by side - DEVONthink searches such documents at blinding speed, highlights the search results, and allows you to skip from one result to another at speed; the only slight slowdown is actually opening [very] large documents).

But you can use FoxTrot in exactly the same way…
