Description:
------------

KEY Search is a Windows 3.1 application that allows you to
quickly and easily search for files containing a keyword or
combination of keywords that you specify. KEY Search will
produce a list of the files that match your search criteria from
which you can launch associated applications, add descriptions
or manual keywords and drag and drop onto compatible
applications.
In order to achieve such fast keyword searches, KEY Search must
initially log the files that you wish to search and extract the
keywords. These keywords are then placed in a database along
with file details and cross references linking the files with
the keywords. Once this information is in place, KEY Search has
no need to access the files again unless new ones are added or
existing ones changed.  A keyword search is then simply a case
of accessing the database files rather than the files you are
searching , giving a great speed advantage.

Here are some outstanding features of KEY Search:

Fast. The advanced database engine used by KEY Search ensures a
fast keyword search every time, no matter how many files you
have logged.

Multiple Document Interface. KEY Search uses the Windows MDI,
enabling it to display as many file list windows on the screen
as your computer's memory can cope with. This means that you can
carry out one search after another and switch between the
resultant lists of files at will.

Drag And Drop Support. From a KEY Search file list you can drag
and drop your files onto compatible applications, just like you
can in File Manager. You can also launch associated applications
simply by double-clicking on a filename.

Easy To Use. A simple interface with a button bar, comprehensive
on-line and context sensitive help makes KEY Search
straightforward in operation.
