A3000 is great, I can fully recommend it, used it for index lots of data (and still use it if I don’t need complicated searches).
Two downsides, which forced me to move to dtsearch:
1.
you cannot combine different type of searches:
For example imagine you search for phrase “smaller chance” that is close to word “probability”, you can search for phrase, you can search for close words, but you cannot type [“smaller chance” probability]
2.
you cannot specify in the “proximity search” for far apart the words that you search for can be from each other (I think it’s hardcoded to 10)
dtsearch allows both, but then it’s muuuuuuuch more expensive

@quant: Thanks for the report on A3000. I have been using X1 pretty happily. I’m not a very sophisticated searcher, but it does seem to have at least some of the complex search features you need. (E.g., you can specify proximity and sequence of paired search terms.) My desire is always to get more file types searched—esp. my database/outliner files, like UltraRecall, Evernote, and more recently, Surfulater. Ergo: still CRIMPing!
