I know this subject sounds very vague, so let me tell you exactly what i mean. I am a forgetful person and I want to start to track lots of useful information that doesn't neccessarily pertain to anything on my computer.

For instance, my tv/entertainment unit is complex. I can never remember how to turn on the PIP (picture in picture) I want to write this down somewhere that I can easily access/find it when I need it. Another example is.... lets say I just bought a new guitar pedal and I want to remember the default settings on the pedal, I want to write them down somewhere and easily access this information in the future. I want to have some sort of searchable text heirarchical database system

What is the best way to do this? Does outlook have an answer? What do you do to track all the useful information in your life?
 
Searchable Notes? That is OneNote for you then. While it's most often used
for note taking during meetings on a Tablet PC I found it also very useful
for taking notes during phone calls, to do lists, cut & past things to I
read on the Internet and want to keep, grocery lists (although I rarely make
those anyway) and indeed settings.
