You can take notes for a special project or daily notes You can link all these notes as you want and yes there is=20 an index note with search...etc. I like also occur to find something in my notes. You can use narrow and allout in planner-mode but i don't know if you can narrow just one note (except if you narrow region) You can also take notes from a file or url or any place with remember. --=20 A + Thierry Pub key: http://pgp.mit.edu
