X1 - Free Desktop Search (Download Squad)

Oct 19th 2006 12:58PM I've tried all the desktop search clients, including google, copernic, microsoft, yahoo-x1, etc... I really liked copernic, but I found it to be very unstable, often freezing up. Even the new version (2.0, I think) froze a lot. Google is ok but you can't preview files nor can you limit searches to pdfs or .doc etc... (as far as I know). The new microsoft search is actually pretty good (I'd put it in second place), but I finally tried X1 when it became free and as far as I'm concerned, it blows the others away. It's super fast, super stable, it lets you preview documents (saving you the bother, in many cases, of opening them) and you can narrow searches easily.

In short, I liked it so much that I'm writing a comment on your blog (something I very rarely do!).

Download it and if you don't love it, I'll give you your money back!

I've been using it for many months now with nary a problem. I like the layout of a web based newsreader compared to "feeder" type readers.

try it and you'll like it.

Cheers,
