you could test the free version of iMetaSearch. I use the pro version, because it was on offer..., but right now it isn't. It hasn't been updated since April last year, and who knows if it ever will be. There is a fine user manual and an instructive video to make it easy to begin using the program. I think you might benefit from the way this program works:Running to try. I will comment !!!!!1

How about http://www.google.com/advanced_search ?-Ath (July 12, 2014, 04:59 AM)

I will make script to launch from the clipboard selecting the engine : wiki, duck duck.....-Contro (July 11, 2014, 02:39 PM)
If you get something working please post it. I'd be curious to see how you approach it. FF context menu I can search using whatever engine is in the search box. But it would be nicer to have a submenu with all the search engines or some other approach that's not cumbersome.-MilesAhead (July 11, 2014, 05:16 PM)
Hi Contro,
Sorry, looks like main website do not still have DBU8 link as this app has some errors still. Normal add/edit/index/search etc. works OK. Relation, setting etc. causing error which I did not get time to fix yet.
DBU8 download link
https://sites.google.../dbu8-for-win-64-bit
Try it and revert to me.

I download the dbu.exe utility, but goes well under xp 32 bit, but not in w7 64 bits. What am i doing bad ?16 bit executables can't run on 64 bit Windows, because MS didn't that feature in Win x64.-Contro (June 15, 1974, 01:26 AM)-Ath (July 11, 2014, 11:29 AM)
And other solution is reindexing in the background to follow any string too.-Contro (July 04, 2014, 08:18 AM)
Google indexes every word in the background!
You can restrict the search to donationcoder's forum like so:
delete lines site:donationcoder.com/forum
This thread is the first hit for the above search term.
For my own notes, I use MyLifeOrganized. It must index every word too, because it narrows search results as fast as you can type. It scales nicely: opens my 16,000+ entry file in less than a second. The "light edition" is free. No Linux/Mac version might be a downside for some.-narny (July 04, 2014, 09:30 AM)
Sorry, with RMDB solutions (Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL and the likes) indexing might not mean what you think it means.
Database queries that often occur are put into and index. With more complex ones That quickly becomes very resource demanding. It will make your processor/core(s) work very hard and it will start to do a lot of reading and writing to disk. Those two alone will make your PC a lot slower. I know that Oracle databases can be very demanding when they are indexed. Hence they do such tasks at times when the database is not or hardly accessed and when the DB has detected that there is a lot new rows added or removed.
However, I get the impression that you think your database is slow and that indexing is the only cure. Dedicate a computer to be a database server + giving that PC lots of RAM, a decent processor and the fastest hard disks and network card(s) you can afford, together with a monthly/weekly indexing of your database will help a lot more.
Then again, if your database is badly designed, then it will be slow no matter the amount of hardware or indexing you throw at it. Database design is (a lot) more difficult than you think.
I have no experience with this type of database, but you could try to use NoSQL-based database. Perhaps that concept will help you more. What I can tell you is that with choosing your database, you will always be subject to compromise.
If you want to use a different database, and your database is small (10 GByte of storage space or less) than you can use the express version of SQL Server for free. It isn't slow and comes with quite nice management software. But if your database needs more 10 GByte of storage space, you will have to pay quite a handsome amount of money for a license. Although that is still nothing when compared with an Oracle license. Although I must say that the Oracle Express database (also free, but limited to 4GByte of storage space) is very useful.
However, Postgres is open source, not (too) limited in storage space, uses an SQL dialect and features that are quite compatible with Oracle and works on practically any operating system.-Shades (July 06, 2014, 01:45 PM)
