Theres a shareware application called PDF Explorer (
http://www.pdfexplorer.com/index.htm) which may interest you. I have not tried it and could not comment on its usefulness. But then why pay for something when you could do it for free like timwhit say? :wink:

I'm not sure that free is the right word here. 1200 lines of code doesn't write itself. Free as in it didn't cost anything. Expensive as in it probably took 30-40 hours to write and debug the application. More for testing and installation on the target machine. It's good experience and I have fun doing it though, which is why I did it.
Here is a quick screenshot of the application's main page:
I don't think it would be very hard at all to change the fields in this program to work for another kind of media. If you changed the fields to things like filename, author, subject, date, location. And then made the searches into things like author, date, etc. The searches on this application are pretty cool too. It does instantaneous searches as you type in each letter in the search box. So if you type in just a letter a in any of the search boxes it returns just those albums which start with the letter 'a'. And all the searches work together so you can use multiple search fields. I coded the searches well enough that with over 100 albums and 2000 songs the searches were still instantaneous on a Pentium II 266 computer.
