Have already replied to one of your other messages. Really think you should include Blinkx in this- in fact, it's better than anything else on your list! It also sits on your desktop and supports all kinds of data formats but it's way more intelligent than any of the other tools you've mentioned!! It finds relevant links while you're typing or looking at something on the web without you having to type in a query at all! What is even better, it is a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y free!!!!!!!! Surely that's a bit better than Diskmeta... Have a look at www.blinkx.com. best johnnyboy
