Windows XP local information search

Hi there. How do you people deal with huge amounts of documents? We have a few computers in the local network and finding a particular document sometimes becomes a nightmare...windows standard search definitely doesn't help...

Desktop Search!

Sounds like you could benefit from a Desktop Search Application.
These index all file types/emails etc and make your life MUCH easier in locating 'stuff'!

Lots to choose from...
http://desktop.google.com/
http://toolbar.msn.com/
http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop-search/
http://desktop.yahoo.com/
http://desktop.msn.com/
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/desktopsearch/default.asp
+ Others...

I use the Copernic version, and can't fault it.
I've seen the Google version and it's also fab.

You may need to set up mapped drives to Index network locations, but let's cross those bridges when we get there...

It's make your mind up time!
Cheers
Kev

Hi,

I actually work for an ECM Vendor (Electronic Content Management)... If you need a corporate implementation, then I might be able to help!
If you can provide me with some contact details, I can get someone to give you a call to ascertain a suitable requirement.

Best Regards
Kev
