Import the information you collect into askSam. Rather than hundreds of files scattered about your harddrive, organize all sorts of different information in askSam. Bring in files from Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, the Web, Adobe Acrobat, email, and many other sources.

Type notes, thoughts, comments and other information into askSam. askSam lets you create "forms" for you information so you set up fields for keywords, categories, subjects, dates, or anything else. These fields can help you better organize and manage your information. askSam comes with pre-defined templates, many of which have been specifically designed for researchers.


Once your information is in askSam, you're ready to search. Simply type any words or phrases you wish to find, and askSam will list all the matching documents. With askSam you can search the full text of your documents, or you can restrict your search to specific fields (perhaps Title, Keywords, or Notes). You can search by date, use wildcard searches, fuzzy searches, even proximity searches. askSam offers the fastest and most powerful searches you'll find anywhere your information will be where it belongs... at your fingertips.


askSam offers you a powerful set of tools to organize and analyze the information you collect.

  • Reports
    Output lists of your documents sorted by title, author, or any other fields. Reports give you an overview of your information, and in askSam, no programming is necessary to create great looking reports.
  • Hypertext
    Create hypertext to navigate between your documents. Create links that connect bits and pieces of information or provide an overview of your documents. You can even link to external documents or Web sites.
  • Output specific text fragments
    askSam's show command lets you search your documents and output text fragments containing a word or phrase. For example, you could generate a list of every paragraph from every document containing the phrase "international aid".
