SearchLog

What is SearchLog? At its simplest, it is a searchable weblog with a lot of features. But if you're only looking at SearchLog "at its simplest", you're missing a lot.

SearchLog is a Swiss Army Lightsaber. Where a common Swiss Army Knife has useful tools that include scissors, blades, screwdrivers, and a can opener, SearchLog is a multipurpose tool for dealing with information and ideas. Its "blades" include:

• Something that can be as public as a weblog or as private as a diary.
• A functional search engine over everything in the log.
• Personal information management:
  • Address book information.
  • A task manager.
• An interactive document repository.
• A search engine that will highlight what you're looking for.
• A place to keep track of ideas.
  • A tool to search through ideas and see what's related to what.
• A flexible tool that lets you edit information while keeping an archive.
• Wiki-style groupware.
• A tool to help keep an office in touch.
• A portal that provides an excellent starting point for the Web.

As well as these "blades", it is designed to be "expert-friendly." It uses usability principles to try to give the serious user maximum power for minimum effort and keep mousework to a minimum.

If you're not sure which version to download, I suggest the highest-numbered version.
