Newby question

Just started getting serious with UR...

I have imported several web pages and pdf/txt books that are nice to have, all in one place - about 900MB so far.

But when I do a search for "chariot fighting", I was hoping that UR would return more than just a link to the document "Art of War".

There must be a clever way to retrieve relevent passages in large documents and convert them into info items, manually if not automatically.

How do most of you handle such tasks?

yes, this is one of few weak points of UR, and the reason why I have chosen only to link files to UR.

I use (and highly recommend) http://www.likasoft.com/document-search/screens.shtml to index my files and to quickly find what I'm looking for. It highlights the found terms, it has phrase, keywords, morphology ... searches

And another thing, UR doesn't provide "relevancy", ie. if 100 documents contain your search term, 100 of them will be found with no way of telling which has more of those terms and might be more relevant.

Have tried Copernic Desktop Search for this ????

I find it very useful and it's free!

Well, that's not good to hear - I thought I was just missing something.

I'll check out the Archivarius program, thanks!

Pretty impressive performance, even on a slow machine.
