Seeking a More Intuitive Search Tool | |
|

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Washington Post | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

The file-search tool in Windows XP is a dog, and not just metaphorically -- a little animated puppy appears on screen to indicate your query's status by wagging its tail, panting, scratching itself and other actions. If only Microsoft's programmers had put such effort into the rest of this software! Its searches run painfully slowly and routinely yield masses of unrelated files. A gaggle of contenders has recently put forth replacements for Microsoft's search. Some are popular Web portals -- Ask Jeeves, Google and Yahoo. Some are small, obscure developers -- Copernic and Blinkx. One's a division of Microsoft itself, its MSN Internet service. | ||

| I've used Copernic for about six months and I can say - it simply rocks. I tried google's offering and it simply does not compare. There are some areas where it could improve on but overall it's fast and accurate. |
