File Management Problems

you can use Meta tags module to get help in searching files by keywords.

You can use views module to display your files as you want. Using views and panels module, you will get enough flexibility to manage your files and - look and feel.

I don't know what 'fileupload' is, but webfm has extensive documentation (available via the 'documentation' link on the project page).

Alternatively, you could use the core upload or cck filefield modules as well. Which module you use and how you configure it will determine where the files are uploaded. To categorize uploads, you'll need to set up one or more vocabularies using the core taxonomy module. Then you can create lists of files with the views module. To search the contents of the files see the search_config module (still in dev for d6).

If you want to be able to do keyword searches based on the contents of text-based documents, have a look at the Search Files module.
