I am currently using Windows Desktop Search 2.6.5.5401

I see the Beta 2 of Version 3 is out. Should I upgrade to the newer version?

Generally speaking, if a computer is working well then upgrading to any beta
version of anything is potentially risky. But you can always create a
restore point first then roll back if necessary. Has version 3 got must-have
features that are really important to you?

it does not list many of the benefits, but it says it is faster.

The 2.6.5.5401 has been running on my system for weeks and still has items
to search. As you note, I am concerned with issues of the beta, but cannot
find any posts here or searching google to see what people are saying about
it.

thanks

In my view, you should never run a beta version of anything unless it's on
an extra machine dedicated to testing purposes--one in which you don't care
if you lose everything on it.
