Because it goes a LOT faster. It finds results as you type.
Also it indexes files and emails. Search everything with a few clicks.

I've saved a lot of time (and a co-worker's job once) using Copernic. I
don't know about "average" users but I like to squirrel away a lot of data,
so a search tool helps.

I think I'm about to give up on Copernic Desktop. I saw a process
running in the Taskbar that was unfamiliar to me (helpsvc.exe) and
searched for it through Copernic. It never found it. I used XP's
Search utility and it was found in less than five seconds.

I looked at the options and EXE is not one of the file types to index
on, but shouldn't the program find it anyway? I don't think I should
have to enter every known file type for Copernic to index on. It
should automatically know what's on my computer.

The more you index, the bigger the index. I think that's the reason the
desktop search programs has limited the number of file types.
I've added extra file extensions in both Copernic and Windows Desktop
Search, and it was no big deal.

I've tried Blinx, Google, Windows and Copernic desktop search, and I
prefer Copernic.
It's fast and superior when it comes to finding information in large files.
I also think its GUI is more effective and userfriendly.

and you get a rapid preview of the files found. and it indexes
openoffice files per default

I prefer Yahoo desktop Search to all those. Just my 2 cents.
