I'd like an interactive (GUI) program that allows for editing the jpeg comment field, creates collection of photos, indexes the whole archive (date, and comment), and allow for searching of the archive.

You may be interested in IPTC - a standard for meta-information attached 
to photos.  The topic comes up occasionally in a mail list that I 
follow, concerning how to save and extract names, comments etc from 
digital photos.  There are some programs for this at sourceforge.net -- 
search for "iptc".  Dunno if this is all you're looking for, but it may 
help with your indexing and searching.
