Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo aren't the only ones bringing more search power to consumer desktops. Copernic's Desktop Search tool makes it fast and easy to find documents, e-mails, and other files on local drives. Like other desktop search tools, it creates a searchable index of all the data on a computer's drives, and updates it every time a file is added, removed, or modified.
A left-side search column allows simple keyword queries and more refined searches based on file size, date, file type, or folder. Easy-to-read icons at the top of the screen let you limit searches by category, such as stored HTML pages, e-mail, and videos. The program is lightning-quick, displaying results as fast as you can type.
We especially like the Copernic Deskbar, a search window that appears in the Windows Taskbar and makes quick queries very handy. However, we would like an image viewer, and we wish the application's PowerPoint viewer could display graphics. Copernic comes with optional search toolbars for Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Overall, Copernic offers an efficient way to search your PC, especially for multiple or large hard drives.

"Love Copernic DS but can't get this version to work"
Version: Copernic Desktop Search Home 3.6.0.38
Pros
The programme is very useful and I use it frequently. The user interface is OK
Cons
I have tried updating from my current 3.4.0 to 3.6.0 and have also trialled Pro but both of them hang on my computer and I have had to uninstall and reinstall 3.4.0. My be my computer of course. I also find that it slows the computer down when it is indexing, so I turn it off and leave it on full-power indexing when i go away from the computer.
