Desktop Search Window: Perform searches in an easy-to-use interface, open folders or files directly, and more! Windows Deskbar: Perform searches from any application, anytime. This search bar conveniently integrates with the Windows taskbar. Copernic Desktop Search's key features: Lets you perform sub-second searches of your PC's files and emails in a user-friendly interface. Enables you to search from any application, anytime. The search bar conveniently integrates with the Windows taskbar. Offers specific refining fields for each desktop search category.

Displays and filters matching results as you type. Quickly creates and updates the index in the background with no limitation concerning the number of documents to be indexed. Delivers advanced fault tolerance and recovery architecture to ensure everlasting index integrity. Automatically indexes on-the-fly new and updated files in the background (Windows NT/2000/XP required), including new emails sent or received with Microsoft Outlook Supports advanced Boolean operators (AND/+, OR, NOT/-), quotes (exact phrase or whole word) and parentheses. Lets you enter keywords directly into the search box located in the Windows taskbar using a keyboard shortcut from any application. Lets you preview Web pages, text files, e-mails and pictures for selected results without needing to open any other application to analyze document’s relevancy or cut and paste a selection. Scrolls document previews directly to the word or phrase that you are looking for. Offers specific sorting and grouping fields for each search category in order to ease result viewing.

Highlights search keywords with a different color for each keyword in result lists and previews of text files or documents. Available desktop search categories: Files: Office documents (Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel worksheets), WordPerfect documents, Adobe Acrobat documents, HTML pages, Text/RTF documents, and more Emails: Outlook/Outlook Express emails and attachments Music: MP3, WMA, WAV, etc. Pictures: JPEG, GIF, etc. Videos: MPEG, QuickTime, Windows Media, etc. Favorites: Internet Explorer favorites History: Internet Explorer history Contacts: Outlook Express/Outlook, Windows Address Book

Nach der Erstindizierung sehr schnell und gut sortiert. Den Autostart habe ich allerdings deaktiviert, auf ständige Hintergrundindizierung kann ich verzichten. Etwas MS-lastig bei Mails. Für die gefundenen Treffer gibt es eine Vorschau. Die Sortierung ist variabel, die Standardeinstellung nach Datum gegliedert ist an Picasa (EFB-Suche) angelehnt, was ich sehr angenehm finde. Auch die Kategorien nach Filetypen ist gelungen, vemisse allerdings eine ogg-Unterstützung bei Musik. Na vielleicht in der nächsten Build.... Alles in allem ein empfehlenswertes Tool.

Wer das Ganze für das Netzwerk braucht, kann vielleicht auf die Copernic Enterprise Search (EFB-Suche) zurückgreifen, die allerdings auf 5000 Dokumente limitiert ist in der freien Version, während diese Desktop Search unlimitiert ist.

Es gab jetzt mehrere neue Betas inzwischen, die alle sehr gut funktionieren
Ein Changelog kann man hier einsehen: http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop%2Dsearch/beta/changelog.html
Der Download ist hier zu finden: http://www.copernic.com/en/products/desktop%2Dsearch/prerelease/index.html

Ich weiss nicht genau, ob das das gesuchte "fuzzy logic" ist, aber Copernic bietet jetzt auch immer alternative Suchworte an, wenn es meint, dass man sich verschrieben hat...
