Hmmm, I suppose I should give nodes better names! What I *really* want is
a text snippets database, as I don't need the organisational capabilities
so much. Too many unrelated items.

I just tried searching the acf_List_2006-06-12.hjt with my favourite
shareware text searcher. Seemed to work well. Data-Grep (dg) might be a
freeware alternative; more here:

Interesting idea, but if I stick to HJT files, it looks like I can get
what I want. I never "upgraded" to Keynote partly because it doesn't have
Boolean searching, but it should be added, not many paywares seem to have
it either (nor yet indexing for fast retrieval). IIRC Keynote files are
plain text too (unless you encrypt them) so they should be searchable in
the same way.

Thanks...
