productivity - Search index tool for personal knowledge base files -


I have a large number of original text, RTF, HTML, PDF and CMM files that I store on a USB key Individual Knowledge Base

So far, to get the information, I have used a standard file search tool (window search, grep etc). However, due to the horrific data size these days, searching for a cruel force can take minutes. Also PDF and Cfm are also hard to find.

So I'm looking for a text indexing tool that will work well in this situation. I want to avoid reliance on RDBMS (i.e. SQL Server, MySQL) because I am using it on many different computers and do not want installation problems. A portable tool would be ideal. On some machines I can often do without internet access.

There is something that provides a simple GUI that gives quick access to query input and results.

I have thought about writing this myself, though this is a bit more work, I have time for now.

Indexes it for you, such as (in Windows) is a great Linux search tool.

Cheers, Eric
