I came upon this free app that does a good job of indexing text off of web sites. Might be useful for chronicling news events as they are occuring.

Cogitum Co-Citer
"Cogitum Co-Citer is a tool for creating collections of texts from the Internet. It automatically captures the selected text, its Internet address, its title and date of adding to the database. "

It's free and Adaware6 and Spybot give it a clean bill of health.
