| 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.
|
While it doesn't search the Internet, Copernic Desktop Search locates all file types on your hard drive and offers a pleasing interface.
|
Regular Outlook fans will find this desktop search tool easy to use, but the rest of us may be frustrated.
|
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.
