The Bottom Line	Lycos's HotBot Desktop provides a glimpse of the future, combining desktop and Internet searches, but other apps actually deliver these features now.	This standalone desktop search tool, X1 Search, is blazingly fast but costs about $100 more than the nearest competitor. In our opinion, the free apps perform just as well.	Blinkx offers only a three-line summary of a file, not a preview. Wait for the next version of this desktop search tool.	Regular Outlook fans will find this desktop search tool easy to use, but the rest of us may be frustrated.
