I love DocFetcher! I discovered this gem of a program when Windows stopped supporting string searches in word processors other than Word.

I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: about 1 year ago
As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago
What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago
Congrats on the launch Max and James! We've been in this space for a lil bit too with eesel (https://eesel.app) and it's really cool to see more people tackling these problems. Keen to be inspired and learn! - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
>After a while, we learned that what our users really wanted was to have everything in one place. This is so spot on! We're having similar learnings with eesel [1] too. Work is far too scattered across apps. Thanks for sharing your journey so far and congrats on the launch! [1] https://eesel.app. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Not exactly what you're looking for but you could use eesel.app to find pages instead of the address bar. You can configure a deny list for specific pages on eesel.app. The Firefox add on is new - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/eesel/. Source: over 2 years ago
