Oh yes, definitely, this has been scary over the recent years to use this product as the only solution I have found so far that meets the requirements I have. It's been years now that this product is no longer supported. Having something new in that direction, well supported, would be good to have. It doesn't need to be as complex as PHDBase. But, at least, we would need full indexing searching capability on character and memo fields.
