I came here eagerly hoping to find something that I could use to replace Onfolio, a fine piece of software killed off by Microsoft.
Sadly, I find that Ultra Recall is stuck in the old model, insisting that folks use its own built in search engine.
It is as if Google and the whole move to desktop search (DTS) does not exist.
Today, no software has a hope in hell of success unless it works with the X1 or Google and Microsoft DTS and many more. There is even a technology to make it happen, the iFilter.
One alternative to Onfolio, Websearch, has recognised this need. Sadly, they believe that the only one that matters is Microsoft's DTS. (In reality, even though I am an X1 fan, if you want to support just one option, it should probably be Google DTS.)
Ultra Recall, AskSam's overly complex product and others will doubtless have their fan base. But they will never break out into the big time, certainly not into the corporate market
Information is what matters. Not how it is stored. I want to search everything from one place.
So, off to continue my search for a 21st century product.
