Henry’s is one perpective; Big Brother (Broogle?) is another. I can search my on material thanks, but no thank you.

It also now indexes the Firefox pages you visit—the earlier version only did Internet Explorer. Anyway, I think the Desktop Search is great; I use it practically everyday (mainly to find emails and Word files.)

I believe it's still missing support for network drives. I have 1000 articles on a server that aren't automatically indexed. Also, I believe it doesn't do full text index for pdf -- kind of useless if you want to search for a specific quote, keyword, or reference. So I still feel like I have to use something like dtsearch or roll my own server side (a pity, since the automatic indexing of web and email in google desktop is neat)

Wow, I reckon I’ll switch back from Copernic for that.

Can you explain to those of us with quite limited technical knowledge whether this is related to the Google program that Kevin Drum had to remove from his computer to keep it from freezing?
