From: "Frank Haber" 

This is lovely, and will be very useful.  A big thank you!

Now of course, since this is Canopus, I have some questions.....(g)  I
won't have time to really play much for a while, but here are some flash
comments (XPSP2 machine, preindexed).

o Why did install need a reboot?  The user needs VB6 runtimes, right?

o Suggestions: W for WordPad, which will open 99% of things without blowing
up (big files, too), and an option for "open in user editor" for
unregistered filetypes).  Or can I trust Notepad now for ~100k files?

o The FIRST run after reboot took 40 seconds or so to find the hits.  I
almost thought it had hung, and was about to ask for a spinner, but every
subsequent search has been blindingly fast.  This is MAHVELOUS!  Thanks
again.

o There's a 400-hit max, right?

Did I say, "thank you?"
