FAQ 23 - Is PaperWise a search engine?

PaperWise is so much more than just a search engine! Search engines typically index documents in-place. When documents get moved, search engines can't locate your documents until they're re-indexed. Since search engines are not document repositories, there are opportunities for documents to get lost. PaperWise never loses your documents and since moving them consists of modifying index values, your documents are easy to find even when they're "moved". If you're looking for full-text searching, just like what you get from a search engine, PaperWise has that as well.
