Thanks, looks very interesting. Does some of what I need, but I differ
in some design choices:

- I prefer the incremental search scheme a-la-deft instead of dired.
- I also do not care for file names and prefer to have editable titles /
summaries.
- A reason for this is that I care about linking and backlinking
notes. Fixing file name <-> title association makes the database static
and difficult to edit.
- I am also into having multiple folders for separating big categories
and areas of interest (hence the recursive approach).
- I also would like to attach multimedia / PDF's / images to the notes as
linked or embedded assets. This is easy if directories are allowed and
files filtered by extension.

In any case...

... your work proves that using grep is not such a bad idea after all
because of available memory and SSD's, as you say in the PDF.
