Definitely much faster than Copernic. The downside is that it does not search for text inside a file like Copernic does. My favorite file finder is Locate32. Definitely much faster than Copernic.

Their <a href="http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/faq.html" rel="nofollow">FAQ</a> is says: <i>"The free version available for download is intended for home and personal use only. Commercial use is prohibited and requires a license [...]"</i>. I was using it up until the beginning of March when they changed the license agreement from freeware.

Look, I've got about 50gb worth of text I need to search with some regularity. These things are toys -- most choke on even a few gigs worth of text, much less tens of gigs. The only decent text search engine for Windows is DTSearch (http://dtsearch.com/). It ain't cheap -- $200 for the desktop version -- but if you are serious about searching, this will find a needle in a haystack in a nano-second. Copernic..Google…Windows…yuck…they’re all crap.

Who keeps anything on their desktop? I thought this blog was Web Worker Daily, not Desktop Worker Daily. C'mon guys/gals. You're slippin. Search for stuff on our desktop? Okay, here's everything. Halo, SmartDraw, Some nicely organized website files, Windows Calculator... hmmm... did I miss anything? Oh yeah! iTunes. Who needs this old school junk? I'm starting to lose faith in WWD. Huh?

I like it so much better than Google's or Window's desktop search. You can easily customize it (e.g., file types, folders) and see a preview of many file types. I don't think that CDS gets as much good press as it deserves :) Definitely Copernic! I like it so much better than Google’s or Window’s desktop search.
