Desktop Search Wars

Posted: October 21st, 2004

The Desktop Search Wars are coming. For now, it is mainly a windows war but that is likely to change in the next 6 to 12 months. Google is the uncontested loser in technical terms tough it seems to wining in terms of popularity.
Me? I’ve chosen Copernic Desktop Search. Unlike GDS, it can read PDFs – given the fact that the majority of documents I have are in the PDF format you can understand why this is a requirement. It’s more configurable than blinkx and has a better interface too. Both characteristics result in a more efficient, better searcher.

Tip for Firefox users: pick up Slogger.
