check out quicka (spelled qiqqa) http://www.qiqqa.com

I chose it a few months ago over mendeley because it allowed me to search in the PDF annotations, which isn't possible with mendeley. I recall mendeley could search notes added to a PDF file (one text area for the whole file), but not within sticky notes attached to specific pages, so it was impossible to search the annotations I made and also have those annotations appear on the relevant part of the PDF.

The other thing I like about qiqqa is that it allows us to have a shared library on our local server, instead of having to send all our data to the cloud.

Both are great desktop tools for full text search across many PDF files, even those that need OCR. Before I was using google desktop for this function, and qiqqa is definitely a step up.

This looks great, however Windows only is a bit of a deal breaker. Definitely going to keep my eye on it though.
