List of disc catalogers
tomos:
I am, for several years, in the lookout of a cataloger with indexing capability (something similar to the desktop search tools). I use X1 for indexing my desktop. Unfortunately, it does not support disc spooling. Any recommendations

do you mean indexing of contents of files as well?
If not,
from what I've heard, Locate 32 would do the job -
but it would be nice if someone could confirm that :)
