Search engines aren't just for the Internet anymore! You can get one for your desktop that will make your life so much easier.
This may be one of the lesser-known desktop search programs, but it plays with the big boys. It will help you find documents, PDF files, spreadsheets, pictures, e-mail, music, and much more.
If you find yourself spending more time finding files than working on them, Copernic Desktop Search is for you!
Note: Desktop search programs tend to be very thorough. Be sure you look at the program's settings. For example, if you are on a shared computer, you may not want the search programs to keep copies of sites where you shop or enter in your personal data.
