    "Great idea, poorly executed"

    May 31, 2011  |   By Caldrumr1234

    Pros

    Was a quick way to find something, when it worked.

    Cons

    Didn't find most everything, even after customizing search areas. If I have it check the whole drive, most searches just result in a bunch of cached Web results.

    Summary

    I had it use my Pictures folder, as one of the places to search. Even after setting .jpeg and .jpg files as files to search for, and selecting the option to search within folders up to 100 deep, it comes up with nothing when I enter the names for my pictures. When it does come up with some things, the results are poorly categorized (folders come up instead of the actual programs, etc.) The idea was nice; it just doesn't work.
