Many thanks for the many and varied responses to my original post. It may have been a hazy and confused request for help, but it provoked a fascinating discussion.

On reflection, it may well be the case that using a disk searching product may be a more efficient approach for me than trying to import all my various lumps of data into a program. And Stephen is right: Microsoft’s long-term plans for search components in their products (witness their purchase of LookOut) makes it a risky game for other players.

Indeed, I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that my original post might well have been off-topic for this group! But thanks for all the friendly responses in any case. I’ll report back if I find any product not mentioned above that seems particularly beneficial.
