The war on the desktop search field today has view the join of the last competitor, Yahoo Desktop Search, out today (on Beta stage).
I don't think I'll try it now and it's difficult to say at the moment if it's better than Microsoft or Google's versions of the same tool but Yahoo Desktop Search has some interesting features, the most interesting of which are (in my opinion):
- Preview files exactly as they should look (e.g., Excel looks like Excel, PDF looks like PDF)
- Find and play audio and video files without launching a separate media player
- Ensure your privacy by not indexing your Web browser history (Google docet
) - Right-click context menus (really useful)
We'll see what happens... who will be the winner??
