Which Is the Best Desktop Search Tool?
Overview Desktop search is the holy grail of personal computing. The user needs to be able to find the exact file he wants, when he wants it, without waiting all day for the search to complete and without needing to continually refine the search to drill down for something better. Amazing desktop search was the promise of the eternally delayed WinFS component of Longhorn, dating back further to the ancient Egyptian file system formerly known as Cairo. Spotlight in OS X Tiger comes close to this vision but is still lacking in some areas. Longhorn will improve the search function in Windows through the elimination of Rover and the addition of some metatag indexing.
