Parsnips 1.5

If you are like most people, you constantly come across useful bits of knowledge throughout the day while using your computer. It may come from a web site, e-mail, chat sessions, usenet news articles, or just records that you have been sent. Parsnips now gives you a place to store all these bits of useful text and simply find them later. Parsnips is a new breed of Personal knowledge Manager (PIM) Using a drag and drop interface, you select the text you want to save and drag it into Parsnips. Parsnips automatic creates an item for the information, and saves it away for later retrieval. You can also give the item a title, an associated URL, or assign keywords to it. Later, when you want to find that knowledge again, you can search for it using Parsnips puissant search mechanism. With Parsnips you can: * find all items containing specific words or boolean combinations of words in either the title or the main body of text. * find items containing one or further keywords you have attached to them. * find all items maked in the past day, week, month, year, or any arbitrary range of dates. Parsnips search mechanism is similar to the popular Google® search engine. However in this case you are searching your personally relevant knowledge rather than the web at large. The text for an item doesnt have to come from a pre-existing source. You can create initially blank items and type or paste into it whatever text you wish. In this way Parsnips can serve as a free-form database. Parsnips can keep track of further than text. If you drag and drop any sort of document folder into Parsnips, it will create an item for it and record the records location on your computer. You can add keywords for the item or add comments about it. Later you can simply locate and open the non-text document folder by searching in the keywords or comments.
