I use search engines everyday to search the internet. When I first heard of Google Desktop Search I downloaded it, thought “I will never use this” and didn’t install it. I then read not too long ago about Copernic Desktop Search. Adam Stiles mentioned he liked it better because it would index source code files. So I figured I might as well give it a try. So I downloaded and installed it. It indexed my hard drive. I haven’t used it once. I installed the Google Desktop Search on another computer. It indexed my hard drive. I haven’t used it since. So I’m uninstalling them. Goodbye desktop search. I don’t need you. I remember where things are on my computer. When I don’t, the default Windows Find Files & Folders works just fine. And for that I don’t need an extra application running in the backround at all times. I like what Andy said about it.

Take a look at this: http://www.rosscode.com/blog/index.php?title=using_google_desktop_search_with_other_f&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

There’s a link to GDSPlus, which allows you to customize Google Desktop Search to search any types of files.

I’d be interested to see how you think the two options (mine above), and Copernic compare.
