I am looking for a way to save info and then be able to search the saved data. Such as web URL for future reference, web pages. Also notes I would make and want to save for future reference. What I am looking for would be separate from favorites and ect.

Are you asking how to store information? Maybe the question is harder or simpler than it needs to be. I mean you have unlimited options, everything from a flat file to DB running web services.

Maybe provide the purpose and medium. You posted in Computer Help, but titled it Database.

I want to be able to save a document or a website url. Basically anything that I can save to a folder. Maybe an important thought that I have typed in Word. Possibly an email. I want to use a software compatable to a Windows PC.

Sorry, still not understanding. You are telling me you want to save things, but now how you want to access them. I mean a 'computer' saves all these things for you already, so there must be a catch.

I am not sure how else I can explain it. I will ponder awhile. Smile

You can do this in Word or Excel; you can use "find" or "find next" from the edit menu to match text...if you want to categorize it more, you could use excel or access to create a database to search, but if you just want to find keywords, you can do that in many different programs...
