Desktop search tools
It seems that I will be switching to a new desktop search tool. X1 has released their enterprise client for free and it looks pretty useful. It is similar to Yahoo Desktop Search that I had used for a while (it was built on top of X1) but the original X1 tool has several advantages. It is more customizable and powerful than any of the tools I have tried (MSN Desktop Search, Google Desktop Search). The only things that I don't like about it are:
Btw, a good resource on desktop search tools can be found here. It seems to be regularly updated and can help you decide which tool
best suits your needs.
- missing full unicode/cyrillic support (I can't see any Bulgarian filenames in the results grid)
- missing the standart Explorer context menus on files in search results
- missing integration with other tools (e.g. with MSN Desktop Search + FolderShare I can search my computer from any internet-connected computer)
