Copernic Desktop Search review Editors Choice Award

Wonderfully useful search application!


Better than Google's Desktop search. Supports PDFs (a must for many business people) and many, many other file types. Copernic Desktop Search lets you use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT as well as parentheses and quotes) to search your emails (even if you use Outlook on a network and your mail resides on a server, unlike some of the other software), files of many different types (including PDFs), music, movies, favorites and Web content. File attachments to emails are also searched by checking a box below the search window. You can even control which Outlook folders you would like to index (or not index). The price is unbeatable – it’s free.

The program will index new files and new emails in real time as soon as they are created or modified on your computer, so there's no need to schedule a reindex. The index makes finding documents very fast. It also monitors the CPU load to make sure the indexing takes place during down time.

A program like this can save you countless hours.
