This an area which is changing rapidly, and I would hold off on getting an external program. Indexing and searching are getting embedded into the OS, and it is likely you will not need that program. Today, Mac OS X lets you not only search files, but also your comments on them. You can also have smart folders that find all files matching your criteria. M'soft is heading the same direction. I use smart folders to simplify my email folder management. Basically I have two folders for saving mail: Ref 06 and Permanent Reference. Everything is indexed into smart folders automagically for particular projects, et cetera. Very simple. You could even have smart folders to implement a virtual A-Z file system!
