Windows desktop search 3.0
have any of you tried this
I just put it on my machine here at work and I must say...I'm quite impressed. It's finding files as I type them into the search box...literally that fast!

Dude, that was like pulling teeth getting that download. I gave up after having to install a Firefox plugin, then having to download and execute a system checker so I could get a code that would in turn take me to another page, and yadda yadda. Screw it, if Microsoft were that cool, they would just let you have it.

I get it... if you download it with explorer everything zings. But if you are using a non-M$ browser, then all hell breaks lose on you... nice.
Anyway, I will try it out. I just downloaded and installed it.
...
And it looks fairly neat. When I get a bit of time to wrench it a bit, I might play with it. Otherwise, it might just become start bar fodder... But thanks for the resource Burr.

You're not alone. Search on mac is really fast and works like desktop search (or better said the other way around) but I don't use it often. Having a good system of different sections and folders to put things in helps a lot in finding stuff. Most stuff is 3 - 4 levels deep, max. Like /webdesign/php/classes/coolclassfeydwrote.phpfeyd wrote:If you properly organize and maintain your stuff, you shouldn't need to really search for much, if anything. While I may be nearly alone in this, I rarely have to search through my documents or graphics files to find something.
It's very rare for me to need to search for a file. I had google desktop search on for a while before I switched to linux again, but I can honestly say I never used it beyond testing how quick it can find a file I already know the location of.
I guess I'm just good at remembering where I put my stuff.
