General Knowledge Base vs Ask Sam vs Idea

From those that I at least tried, or used, I’d go with Ultrarecall, if my needs included the search capability.
With exception of PDF, in the past I have found that UR had problems with indexing PDF, it would only index a part of many PDF files I had, and I’m not sure they fixed this (most probably not).

If I was more afer categorization, and had a powerful search program like Archivarius, I’d seriusly consider MyInfo, and I’d only store links to those documents in MI, and use MI for writing and categorization, and Archivarius for searching. I tend to like the tags functionality in MI much more than tags in UR, and generally Mi is better in visual terms than UR (eg. it allows you to use text formatting on article titles, a biggie for me.) MI probably has a slightly better editor.

UR has better web clipping than MI, but you can’t edit those webclips in UR directly.
