My opinion, as long as you use a tool to index the documents so they're searchable, how you organize the documents doesn't matter much. This assumes you don't browse the articles very often. Over the years, I tried multiple desktop search engines and settled on Google Desktop Search. The only problem I have with it is that I have to individually exclude each folder I don't want to be indexed, plus a little worry that it always keeps TCP connections to some IP's owned by Google, even if I make sure not to use any functionality that needs to talk to Google. At work place, our group uses a SharePoint server to index articles. Yong Huang -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
