- For notes, OneNote, though I'm always on the lookout for an alternative with decent UI and syncing, but using open file formats. Full text search simple enough with this. Code formatting isn't good but there's an addin where the free version formats it as it was copied.
- To search local files, Voidtools Everything is great. Searching instantly by filename is a real time saver.
- If I want full text search of a large base of documents, I used Likasoft Archivarius which cost me $30 about 10 years ago and is still handy. It's the only local desktop search I've found that supports full text indexing of tons of formats like outlook .ost, etc and can look inside archive files
- For backups I've continued to stick with external drives, mirrored periodically with Freefilesync. 3 copies - one as master, two mirrors ensuring one is offsite.
Thanks, looks interesting. I find Markdown a great idea in theory, but have found very few examples of wysiwyg markdown editors that work 'as you'd expect'. For me that means:
- Bullets with multiple indents going from 1 to 1) a. etc
- Table handling
- Usual formatting like heading levels etc
And there seem to be lots of flavours of markdown too, just to add another layer to things.
I love SN and have been using it for a few months. No complaints thus far. I will add that for me, the Simple Markdown Editor module is better the other one (forget the name).
