I\'m looking for software capable of creating a searchable database from scanned

Question

I'm looking for software capable of creating a searchable database from scanned files (probably PDFs but the file type isn't important) so that I can categorize and search all of my handwritten Calculus and Psychology work. I'm not looking for scanning software or something that converts handwriting to text, just something that allows me to create an easily sorted and searchable database. (Having OCR is fine, just not required)

(By searchable I mean simply each one having a number/heading/title i.e. Chapter 1 - Section 2, not full text searching)

Requirements:

Runs on Windows (Version doesn't matter)
Preferably not Web Based
Free (Ad revenue, etc. is fine)

Explanation / Answer

Since you don't want OCR, your notes are effectively photographs, so why not find some good photo management software, which lets you tag an categorize?

People speak highly of Picassa, and there are good alternatives here.

For years I have been using FastStone Image Viewer, which might offer too many features for you, but which definitely has good tagging.
