We’ve have exciting news today! We are pleased to announce that the new version of MyInfo 5 is available to the public. It may be not a news for you, if you are already our customer, but it is news for the people that are not yet our customers. You can download the new version here.
We have full list of what’s new in MyInfo 5, but here is a quick overview of our favorite new features. What are yours?
Links to paragraphs – People use MyInfo not only to store notes, but also long documents. It was impossible to link to specific place in a long document in the older versions of MyInfo, but now you can do that easily.
View files directly in MyInfo – We have expanded our internal browser to support a bunch of file formats (Adobe PDFs, Ms Office files, images and text files), allowing you to view the embedded copies of these files without leaving MyInfo!
Spelling in any language – MyInfo 5 now uses OpenOffice.org spelling dictionaries. And since it is the software with the biggest number of dictionaries available, you have access to spelling dictionaries in more than 100 languages!
And just a quick reminder of how much MyInfo has improved since its first release 10 years ago, take a look at this screenshot (check out MyInfo page on Facebook for more screenshots):
What will happen in the next 10 years? We’ll love to hear your feedback!

Here is what was changed in this release:

- Fixed: some load problems for topics, containing YES/NO icon attributes
- Fixed: a problem when pasting from IE
- Changed: search field is now slightly larger
If you already own MyInfo 4.x, the upgrade to version 4.31 is free – you will receive update instructions on your email.

We are pleased to announce that MyInfo 4.30 is now available as free download to all registered users of MyInfo! This new version includes exciting new features and a handful of fixes and improvements.
- Improved search We have rewritten the search feature from the scratch and now it is faster, more reliable, more powerful.
It is now integrated with attributes, so you can search for text in comments, tags and other fields.
Learn more about the new search.
- Improved web capture MyInfo now handles pasting from browsers better and preserves the page layout.
In addition, you can now select specific topic where to send your snippets, if you want an unified place to store them.
- Fixed critical problem where some of the document attributes were not saved, if the document contains multiline comment before the rest of the attributes
- Fixed partial line spacing was not always saved correctly
- Fixed CSV imported text is now trimmed, so no extra white space is imported
- Fixed expand/collapse subdocuments shortcuts now work properly
- Fixed small naming problem with Import Folder and Files feature
- Changed MyInfo no longer supports Windows 98 and Windows Me. This is caused by a use of the searching technology, which does not support these operating systems. Our research shows that under 1% of our customers use these OSes, so we’ve decided that it is a fair decision.
If you already own MyInfo 4.x, the upgrade to version 4.30 is free – you should receive download instructions in your email soon. If you haven’t bought MyInfo yet, the newest version gives you good reasons to do so. Why not download the trial version right now?

The upcoming MyInfo 4.30 brings some exiting search improvements to MyInfo.
Here, in a nutshell, is how the search was improved in MyInfo 4.30:
- It is faster
- It is more reliable
- Integrates attributes
- Supports texts in multiple languages
- Has more powerful syntax
It is faster
MyInfo search was always fast when working with small files, but as the files grow larger, the search speed slowed down considerably. We have worked hard to overcome that limitation and we are proud of the results. In MyInfo 4.30 it doesn’t matter how large the file is, the search will be always fast!
The other bottleneck in pre-MyInfo 4.30 search was searching for phrases. We will not get into technical details here, because they are not interesting, but the fact is that in versions prior to MyInfo 4.30, searching for phrases was slow. No more! In the new version it doesn’t matter whether you search for keywords or phrases – again, the search will be always fast!
It is more reliable
The old search supported indexing of up to 4000 documents. This limit is now lifted and it can index as many documents as you have in the topic.
We have found some cases where the index was not always up to date in the older versions and fixed these issues in the new release.
In addition, if you search in all topics in MyInfo 4.25 and earlier, you have maybe noticed that MyInfo shows no summary text for the topics that are not currently open in MyInfo. This is no longer an issue – it doesn’t whether the topic is open or not, it will always show summary text, if you prefer so.
Integrates attributes
MyInfo indexes all text in the topics in the current versions too, but with MyInfo 4.30, you will be able to search in specific attributes as suggested on our feedback page. For example, if you use the GTD methodology for organizing your tasks, you can find all tasks that you have to do at home, by searching for:
tag:@home
Or searching for any text in your custom attributes:
custom:draft
Supports texts in multiple languages
In general, you should experience no problems when working with your native language. MyInfo indexes texts based on your Windows settings, so if you live in Japan, it will index non-western characters as Japanese. However, if you have documents in different languages, they will not be indexed correctly. We have fixed that in MyInfo 4.30, which offers real multi-language support for the search. Now you can mix for example documents in English, Chinese, Korean and Thai, and you will be able to search for any of these texts without any problems.
We have also improved the support for Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnam languages, so you will no longer need to put your search terms in asterisks. Previously, you had to search for these terms like this: *??*. Now you can just type ??.
Has more powerful syntax
By default, MyInfo search for all terms in the search query.
Here is a full list of supported search operators:
| OR |
Find documents that match either of the subexpressions. |
| - |
Searches only for documents that do not contain the term after the – sign. |
| (expression) |
Use brackets to create a subexpression. |
| term1 NEAR term2 |
Finds only documents that contain term1 within ten words of term2. |
| term1 ADJ term2 |
Finds only documents that contain term1 within ten words of term2, where term1 and term2 are in this exact order. |
| “phrase” |
Searches for a phrase. |
| field:text |
Allows you to search in specific field like document text, user attributes, document title and so on. |
| prefix* |
Searches for all terms that begin with this prefix. |
Please refer to MyInfo 4.30 help system for more details on the new search syntax.
MyInfo 4.30 will be availble by the end of the next week (June 20, 2009).

Our customers and people interested in purchasing MyInfo often ask us on how many computers they can install their copy of MyInfo.
Single user, unlimited PCs
Currently, you can install MyInfo on any number of computers, as long as they are owned and used by the same person (i.e. the licensee). Each additional license you own, allows one more person to install and use MyInfo in the same way. This terms are very good for people, who want to use MyInfo on their home PC, on their laptop and on their work PC.
Single PC, unlimited users
Beginning from the next release of MyInfo, we are going to add another option to MyInfo license. When using this license option, you can install MyInfo only on one workstation, but any number of people, using this workstation, can use MyInfo on it. This option is suitable for example for family members that share the same computer and want to use MyInfo on it.

Our forums are an excellent place for new ideas, suggestions and improvements over existing MyInfo features. However, with so many suggestions lately, it is difficult for us to keep track of everything and to decide which are the most desired features from our customers.
That’s why we have added special suggestions page, where you could vote for your favorite new features. We have added some of the ideas we received from you, but if you can’t find your idea in the list, feel free to add it. Even if it is something little like changing the name of a menu command, this could help us improve MyInfo!
Why not start voting for new features now?
