I had never heard of the program before you mentioned it. Now I also read (at the Zoot forum) that it supports Zoot files and was intrigued. I checked the website
http://www.likasoft.com/document-search/features.shtml
and was flabbergasted by the amount of files that it supports.
I had never considered using such a universal search program as they usually leave me out on two grounds: the programs I use (such as The Bat! which I depend on for e-mail) and my working language (Greek). In addition to supporting Unicode, Archivarius includes Greek in its morphological search, along with many other languages.
Will definitely give it a try :-) Thanks!

Does anybody know if UltraRecall still has problems with indexing pdf files?
If Daly isn’t concerned about text formatting, and only intends to link his files to, rather than store them in, his program of choice, then I’d have thought that Zoot32 would be a good candidate after all (despite my previous comments) - and much more powerful than either UltraRecall or MyInfo for categorizing or note-taking.
It just goes to show how much choice of software depends on style of working. Once the notion of needing to store files within a particular piece of software is taken out of the equation, the options open up again.

Quickly tested on 3 files here, and it still doesn’t index them. It finds some texts in the first part of the document, but not those at the end.
Maximum size to keyword set to the default 20MB, the tree documents combined had less than 4MB.
Can’t guarantee the testing results, as I had no time to test meticulously.

I don’t use pdf indexing feature in UR, but I’m sure Kinook would have a look at the problem. Might be that I missed the topic of the their forum, but wasn’t aware of the pdf indexing problem.
Would you case to send the problematic pdf’s to support@kinnok.com ...
Thanks ;-)

would you care ...
ps:
I wish this forum was a bit more advanced (edit feature, ...)
