Copernic Desktop Search
Copernic Desktop Search is a downloadable tool for your PC that helps you locate specific documents, emails, and other files. After Copernic is installed on your PC, you select the sources of your files, and the software automatically generates an index of everything saved in these locations. Once your index is created, you can use the search tool the same way you use an Internet search engine. If you do not get results on your first search, you can filter and refine your search criteria to locate the correct file. Copernic Desktop Search offers a free trial, after which you must purchase one of the plans which range in price depending on what type of files you need indexed. Review: Copernic Desktop Search offers an improvement on your typical desktop search, making it fast and easy to find the right file, document or email by creating a search engine similar to an Internet search. The tool is easy to install on your desktop, and once you set-up the source locations of your files, the software quickly creates an index of all your files. This index is thorough and powerful, but can slow down the performance of your PC. To fix this issue, you can customize when you want the indexing to run and set-up times for automatic updates of the program. Even if you do not know the exact name of the file you are looking for, Copernic uses filters, keywords, and refinements to pinpoint the exact document you need. There is also a search assistant to provide even more help locating a hard to find document. The deskbar feature allows you to access the search tool any time you need to find a document. After a search is completed, you can sort or organize the resulting files and documents. You can also use the preview feature to see if a file is the right one before opening it. There are also a variety of options for what to do with each file type. For example, with an email message, you can choose to open the email, forward the message, or reply to the message. Overall, Copernic Desktop Search is an easy to use tool that makes finding the right document a quick process.
