Do you collect news items or other documents from the web, and later cannot find something you vaguely remember downloading?

What if you had a spider on your hard disk -- one that can crawl your document directories and full-text index them at a rate of about one per second?

Once indexed (which is only done once per document), you enter up to ten search words. Up to 100 documents are produced almost instantly, each of which contains all of the search words somewhere in the document.

Any of these 100 can be clicked to show its descriptors. These are the 40 most important words in the document, determined by word frequency count and a lookup in an English dictionary. Or, you can use the resizable ring around the mouse to click on a cluster. In that case, the descriptors you see are those that appeared in two or more of the documents inside your cluster.

After selecting one document, one cluster, or the entire screen, you can see each search term shown in context the first time it appears in each selected document. Click on the filename and the full path plus filename is sent to the clipboard. Now you can paste it into your preferred application to view or edit the entire document.
