I do use Bridge, although I've heard it's a huge RAM hog. It's not a problem for my computer, but it might be for someone else depending on how much RAM you have.
I have keywords that I use specifically to find certain items...just have a lot of kits that I've purchased recently and haven't tagged.
so obviously my keywords don't work on those. I really need to sit down and tag some more kits, but find that when I have time to scrap I want to do that and not organize. I've also thought of condensing some of my keywords....and color keywording some key items I'm always searching for to add in the missing item needed on my layout...like a specific tag, or certain color flower, etc.
