categorizing files like that of Wikipedia [on hold]

Is there any tool to put each of our files in a certain category like Wikipedia so we could call them with that category? there may be several category for one file (so we could not use a simple folder as a category) and subcategories just like Wikipedia.
Is there any file manager, desktop search engine, tagging system or anything else to do this? BTW, I need that only for Word documents.

You can add tags to Microsoft Word documents and many other file types in windows explorer.
- Right-click the file, choose the details tab
- At the top, you'll have Title, Subject, and Tags
- Add the tags you want, separated by semicolons (that may vary depending on your regional settings)
Now, in windows explorer, search by tag:X to search for all documents tagged with X.

I'm not sure - I can edit tags for Word documents fine. You can try editing categories if tags don't work for you.

Actually, I see what the problem is - you can only edit tags and categories if you can edit the file. Read-only files or files you can't even read you can't categorize like this.

no, it's not read-only. Recently I found that we cannot edit tags on some files such as txt files. Maybe docx files be as such
