No cross-database searching with DT (except of course via Spotlight).
For this and other functions we all await Version Two.

Hugh,
SOHO Notes feature set seems really impressive and I’d love to give it a whirl, but I’ve tried repeatedly to install and run the program to no avail. (I believe the problem has to do with its database engine, OpenBase.) It sort of reminds my of InfoRecall, which is loaded with features, but so bug-infested that it’s next to impossible to use. Perhaps in a future release it will work on my system.

Sorry to hear this, Steve. Previous experience seems to have been that SN increases in stability as its versions ascend the decimal points, then takes a step backwards when they hit a round number. Maybe the 7.x versions will show the same behaviour. With a stable and secure long-term datastore in DevonThink and off-site back-up (has anybody here tried the beta of Dropbox - http://www.getdropbox.com ? - for Windows as well as Macs - well worth investigating), I’ve been ready to take a risk with SN as a first-resort, ever-ready hold-all, and so far it hasn’t let me down. (Of course there’s always a first time…)

Hugh,
Thanks for the heads up on Drop Box. Looks like a great program. I signed up for the beta announcements. I am using Evernote now, and would like to see this functionality added to that program in the future. We are always moving files between my Mac and our other PCs.
