We all used to save the file or mail that is important to us(at that time!!) in some place and wander all over My Computer to find the file. Im many case mark a mail as Flag , follow up place in a folder and atlast mail lost again. It really very hard to serch for a file, song ,mail etc in our desktop and using Windows serch would be another problem. In such situations the Desktop searches would comes real handy..
Desktop searches would index the contents, subject of all the files and mails then and there. A small input box will be available in Desktop to search any file anytime.Now we have lot of options in the market mostly freeware for Deskop searches.. We would discuss the most popular and effective desktop searches here.
Google Desktop Search
Google search for the desktop. Nothing needs to be said beyond those 5 words. An application offering from the company, which put search on the map. Much like the rest of Google’s offerings, this application suite is a polished performer that has a huge no of actually usable features. Apart from your files, it can index your office documents, outlook mails and web surfing history.
This excellent suite apart from its obvious search functionality, also offers a good “widgets” packet. Widgets are little graphical programs, which extend the functionality of your desktop by putting you a click away from commonly needed applications. The thing I like about Google is the double ctrl press and you will get the search box and dropdown. One thing lagging is it will show up all the files containing the text irrespective of MP3 or mail or doc.

Yahoo Desktop Search
Yahoo says it search suite is powered by X1 technologies a well known application that has the capability to index over 370 file formats, Outlook mail, Microsoft Office documents and an excellent display interface.
Another great thing about Yahoo’s suite is its integration into its portal services. Unlike the rather jumbled and often confusing services that their competitors offer, Yahoo’s portal services are well defined and easy to use.

Windows Desktop Search
This great suite like its competitors, can not only index files and office documents, it offers real time completion of names, good integration with the OS ( but naturally) and even allows you to share search index across a network for finding files that do not reside on your PC. This is the same version that has been built into Windows Vista.

Copernic Desktop Search
My pick is Copernic for Desktop search..The first thing is to categorizing the searched files as Music, email,videos and docs. It has cool utilities like bookmarking and browser toolbars.While it doesn't search the Internet, Copernic Desktop Search locates all file types on your hard drive and offers a pleasing interface, Fast indexing, easy to install and preview to some files.
