Copernic Desktop Search

I gave it a try. Took quite a while to go through all my files on two hard drives; not sure how long because I set it to run and went to bed after it had not finished in an hour(about 100 gigs worth of data-mp3's, pics, etc,all duplicated). Had to turn off SETI because it kept stopping the index.
I found no spyware in the program from Spy-bot or Ad-Aware.
I was amazed at how fast it was in searching for files-took only seconds to find stuff after starting to type a file name. Unlike Google's prog, this one covered all kinds of filetypes.
I've since removed it; might try it again after I format.
One note: you can't use the cpu for anything while it does it's initial indexing.
 
well it got a recommendation in this months cpu magazine. anand is part of that mag.. anyways the columnist was writing about desktop search stuff, like msn and google desktop. his final recommendation was copernic though.

it tried to contact the web after i installed it. norton let me block it. probably nothin though. we shall see, its indexing now.

it can index mapped network drives right? or does it need write access?
 
so far pretty slow indexing, not that bright either. i only want it to index video/audio and stuff, yet it seems to be reading through my cookies and such..taking forever. i set the options correctly too...grr.
 
ok its going faster now. seems the files section of the options overrides the other panels when it comes to file types. each drive is default set to scan for all.. was going through all my system files and htm txt whatever..had to uncheck it manually. going much faster now.
