Jack,

I have just bought Netsnippets for this very thing (I have been using the free version for a while) http://www.netsnippets.com/

It works with Firefox and MSIE, and stores the downloads in native HTML, so its accesible to any search type tool. The others I tried all used s dedicated format.

The tools are bit more sophisticated in MSIE, so I use the Firefox addin on the context menu to “Open Page in MSIE” when I need the extra facilities, I hope that they will improve the Firefox integration as it lags behind the MSIE integration.

In fact it doesn’t just work with browsers and you can add anything from the clipboard into it from any document - online or offline. And you can capture any screen from right clicking on the NS icon in the sytem tray, or even add a blank “snippet” if you want to add a note to yourself about something.

There is a mark up option for any item in Net Snippets, as well as keywords, absract etc.

The Net snippets bar is a tree, and for any folder you can produce a report of all entries with a TOC, or/and a bibliogrpahy of the contenst in standard APA, MLA or Chicago format.

I am still sorting out how to use it, and the list of features above is far from exhaustive, but it looks very good.

Graham
