However you can specify "Files" as the default to search (RMB, properties) on the desktop toolbar then hide everything but the data entry field. They also appear on the desktop toolbar and take up a lot of room. I don't care about Outlook searching (I use Lookout for that) but those items still appear on the toolbar. No fundamental defects for file search so far.When you find an item, you can right-click to open it in the enclosing folder.You can constrain a search to limit it to folders. It indexes folder names and it treats folders as first class searchable items.I may buy the commercial version for my home. You can't index network shares with Yahoo's licensed free version.You can't specify a time range for index building. The index did get built and it wasn't a big performance hit. I had to turn off the default option of waiting for an inactive machine. Indexing is not all that smart, since my machine is often active (backup, maintenance, etc) the index wasn't getting built. You can control when it builds the indices.You can tell it not to index files over a certain size (I used 10MB).You can readily sort search results by the usual metadata (file name, date, etc) and by file PATH. You constrain your search results by additional quick filters such as data, result type, substring on file name.It even includes viewers for obscure applications, like MindManager. It indexes PDF and a wide variety of data types.NOTE: X1 does NOT appear to index Outlook Task or Note folders. I turned off Outlook search since I use Lookout. You can control readily what folders are indexed.The X1 index is 400 MB for a 14GB dataset, but much of my data are in large non-indexed databases. All my various search indices tools store files in this folder. You really don't want to backup search indices. I store them in a folder that I exclude from backup. You can configure location of the indices. Roughly following the same format as my previous Copernic review, here are my comments. Now X1 freebie, better known as Yahoo Desktop Search (YDS) has taken over. Until recently AOL/Copernic was my choice on the XP platform for file search (not Outlook, for that I use Lookout).
