The Windows XP indexing tool is a dreadful resource hog and best avoided. The news that Longhorn (the next major Windows release) will not have the new file system probably also means that the innovative document searching and organization system is also on hold. This means an open field for tools to search your hard drive.

If you’ve only ever used the Windows XP search then you’re in for a treat. Once the index on one of the third party products is complete, you can find documents based on a few words in the blink of an eye and you can also search emails in Outlook or Outlook Express with similar speed.

Companies like X1 and Dtsearch have been joined by Copernic. Other companies have time-limited trial versions by Copernic have a different approach.

As they have with other products, Copernic have released a free version of Copernic Desktop Search which will be joined later by paid versions with extra features. It’s available at copernic.com.
