More on the Copernic Desktop Search Engine

I’m liking the Copernic Desktop Search Engine more and more. I’m finding it particularly useful for searching my emails. My Outlook.pst file is over 500 MB and if I use the Outlook search, it takes forever.

I have about 20 subfolders I route my email to and Copernic allows me to specific a specific folder for searching. Some folders have over four years of emails and the Copernic finds things very quickly.

I have one folder for all the tech support incidents I have had with Microsoft. If I need an answer to a question that I seem to remember Microsoft previously answered, I can quickly search this folder and find my answer. Now that Microsoft charges me for answers, it beats asking a second time.

As they say, it is very cool.

If you’d like to try it, just click here. The Desktop Search Engine is a free download.
