Hi all,
Dekstop Search Tools are becoming very popular and of late there have been a lot of popular search engines coming up with Desktop Search Tools.
Desktop Search Engines provide way to search your hard disk files, documents, Outlook mails etc., in a quicker way than you can imagine, particularly if you have a dump of huge data in your drives.
Well, I installed a couple of such tools but ever since I installed the MSN Desktop Search, I started falling in love with it.
The first appealing thing is the ease to use. The other things that attract me are the filtering options.
You can filter your search results to just Documents, Email, etc., as well as filter only specific locations such as Files, Outlook etc.,
The UI is simply appealing and ever since I installed it, I have become a bit lazy to browse directories for simply finding an old document.
Try it out and I bet, its worth your time and can save you a lot of time. It takes very less time to scan your drives and once its done, you are all set to search.
I have received a lot of spam mails years before, that somebody in Rajasthan has developed an OS which can provide access to any file within 2 clicks. Well I dont know the authenticity of the mail as usually it comes with the prefix/suffix, forward this to N people and you will get something Good etc., (Though during my early days I believed and forwarded.. but thats a different story). The Desktop Search actually provides access to all your files in a Single click. You just need to enter the name of first letters of the name of your file and you get the popup with the available files from where you can just click to open the files.
You can try the MSN Desktop Search from http://desktop.msn.com/Cheers and Happy Desktop Searching !!!
