Be like Google! Build a graph!

I use a free, open-source knowledge graph database[1] with an Emacs frontend. It resembles tree-based knowledge schemes like FreePlane or Org Mode, but things can have multiple parents, not just multiple children. It offers full-text search via Apache Lucene, which resembles regular expressions but also offers boolean operators. It also lets you selectively merge your knowledge base with other peoples' -- share what you want with who you want, without having to segment your experience of the data into separate files.

(I am one of the developers.)

The intro video looks good. I will have to try this.

Currently I use Zim wiki.
