I also have nothing against desktop search tools (I use one at work on my
'doze box) - as long as *I* have the final decision. But having a good
directory structure for your documents can limit my search for a document
to a few tens or in very rare cases a few hundreds of documents. For so
few documents, I prefer grep. It works, it's proven technology, and it's
fast.
