Re: Better desktop search engine



Rich,

Sounds good.  What sold me is the following answer
on the FAQ page:

 > Find anything in any of over 200 different file
 > types including - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF,
 > Outlook, Outlook Express, HTML, text, ZIP,
 > PhotoShop, etc.

The idea of indexing Outlook files seems worthless,
since I can't imagine any sane person using that
format.  But PDF, HTML, ZIP, and others are important.

For email, by the way, I recommend Thunderbird, which
is the Mozilla mail spin off that makes an excellent
companion to Firebird.  Those are the two applications
I use more than anything else (except for my trusty
old ASCII editor, which I use for generating HTML).
I also use OpenOffice for converting HTML to PDF, but
the OpenOffice GUI is horrible -- identical to MS Word.
