Apart from Agent Ransack, another really very good - and free! - search tool you could look at is DocFetcher (a sourceforge project). This handles European and other characters very well in its preview screen, highlights search terms, and can be set up with multiple indices which can then be included or excluded from searches.
Sorry - not exactly outlining, I know, but in the general “information management” ballpark!
An alternative concept that may appeal to some people is Planz (already mentioned in various threads in this forum) - tightly binds together files, e-mail, notes and other stuff. I’ve never really got on with it, but it’s quite clever.
Cheers,
Bill
