Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: Copernic Desktop Search 3.2.1
"Good but there are better ones"
Pros: It's definitely not bad, but see the cons for more.
Cons: There are a lot of other tools (for example lookeen) which are way better than Copernic Dektop Search. They are not very expensive or they have extra features.
Summary: For those of you who don't need more than what the tool has to offer, I am sure they will be satisfied, for all the others, it may be a good idea to search for another tool.

Version: Copernic Desktop Search 3.2.1
"Disappointing - but maybe I'm not doing it right."
Pros: After installation it is not hard to find.
Cons: Nine times out of ten I revert to Windows default search and wonder why I bother with Copernic.
Summary: Nine times out of ten I revert to Windows default search and wonder why I bother with Copernic. Maybe there's a learning curve but each time I try I spend some time with the documentation. I liked Power Desk Pro but haven't upgraded it. "Everythi... read more >>
