PCWorld.com – Deep File Divers

Anonymous Patron writes “PCWorld.com Tests six powerful desktop search utilities that scour the vast recesses of your PC to uncover long-lost file treasures.
They test Blinkx, Copernic Desktop Search, Google Desktop Search, MSN Search Toolbar With Windows Desktop Search, and Yahoo Desktop Search (all free), and DtSearch Corp’s $199 DtSearch.
Their favorite is Microsoft’s MSN Search Toolbar With Windows Desktop Search, even though it failed one of their tests. Copernic Desktop Search is the easiest to use, but it also didn’t find some of our test files. For searching only text files–and if you don’t mind spending $199–DtSearch is the most likely to find everything you’re looking for. A familiar interface wasn’t enough to win us over to Google Desktop Search, because it lacks the indexing and sorting options of competing tools.”
