Pros: Quickly assembles search results with different criteria
Cons: Untrustworthy, will try another desktop search program.
Summary: I loved Copernic when I first downloaded it, but I have run into too many instances where a document I know is on my hard disk doesn't show up in the search. When I go looking for it manually, sure enough, there it is. Copernic is great when I fin... read more >>

"The best FREE desktop search tool"
Pros: Free, fast searching, supports firefox
Cons: Can't support more than 1 browser at a time, thumbnailing for pictures could be better
