When I was a kid my parents had some bible (plus other books) software for their PC XT that came on dozens of 360K floppies and filled most of the 20MB hdd. What impressed me most was the search feature, and I've never seen anything like it since. You could search for a word within N words or N verses of another word, for example. I always wondered what indexing structures allowed that on an 8MHz 8088.
