Windows desktop search

On my office laptop, soon after OS (Windows) installation, immediate software I install after that is “Windows Desktop Search”. I have compared with other desktop search tools Google Desktop Search, Copernic desktop search. Windows desktop search stands out with some very good features. Two most important features are – search results display and search keywords support. Only thing I like about Google Desktop search is the ‘Ctrl-Ctrl’ to get the search strip to type. That is cool.

I would recommend this software to anyone who are lazy to create folders (emails, documents, etc) and whose computer has 1GB or more RAM.

If you use Microsoft Outlook (for official purposes) on your computer, recommend you to add your GMail, Yahoo accounts to Outlook. Then you can search all your email communication using Windows desktop search. For those Yahoo users who don’t have POP3 access free, please refer to my earlier post – FreePOPs. Easy to use and effective.

Will add examples of search keywords and use of Windows Desktop Search in another post later.
