>I’m not convinced that it would be my choice of general purpose database, even though it could be used for that. It seems more to be something that you would use to pull together random information for a specific project, using the outlining feature to then structure that random information.- Graham Smith

That’s the way I’m using it now, but it is still in an early stage of development, and the developer is receptive.The developer will be upgrading the find to include Boolean operators. If the search function were *very much* improved, I could see it as my general database.It would need a search good enough that the user could forego key words and rely on the search to structure the data initially. For this the search would also have to be very fast; I think it would need an indexed search.
