Gary Price recommends the new Desktop Search product from Copernic. It indexes Office documents, Wordperfect, Acrobat, text, web pages, music, pictures, video. It will also index Microsoft Outlook mail, IE favorites and IE history. People who use Eudora for mail, or a different browser are out of luck. The search bod sits in the Windows taskbar. Of course, this tool will also search the web.

Also see review in Pandia -- Copernic gives away desktop search tool for free (Sep 1) - Notes that the reason we're seeing so many desktop appliances is that Microsoft has utterly failed to fill the need. How amazing given its resources.
