Does Google Desktop search recognize windows Vista tags?”
A few months ago, Rick listed a bunch of free desktop search programs that produce instant search results from your documents, photos, and e-mail messages. I used to use Google Desktop to search my computer drives for specific files, but I found that it ate up too much of my system memory when it ran in the background, and I assumed the other programs had similar memory demands. So I axed third-party desktop search and went back to using that annoying little search dog in the start menu of XP whenever I needed to find a document (and Thunderbird’s terribly slow search function for my email). Then I tried Copernic, Rick’s favorite desktop search program that has been kicking around now for almost three years. Like Google Desktop, it’s free and works great, but it doesn’t seem to slow down all my other programs. Not bad.
