Catalog/Index Removable Media

[maynard]

I've been looking for a program to catalog all my data archived on CD/DVD. Mostly doc and compressed doc files (pdf,doc,txt,html,mht,chm etc.). There is no end to the number of prgrams out there that will do this. The only problem is that NONE of them indexes the file content. They all "index" the file system but all that means is that they've stored file info and whatever metadata they can extract.

Of these non-indexing prgrams, some are actually quite nice at what they do (WhereIsIt, Advanced File Organizer...) And there actually is one program I found (Deductus) that DOES index data but it's 3 years old and sufficiently quirky and unreliable to make it a scary proposition.

Anyway... after hitting a brick wall I began thinking that UR would be perfect for this application. Everything is there except the ability to store, manage and browse multiple catalogs for offline media. Also, cataloging and indexing archive file contents (zip, rar etc.) for virtual browsing and searching would be a major plus.

Thoghts please. It this is do-able now please make my day.
