Mark, you and I had discussed desktop search for
WinXP. I just installed this. You might want to
check it out. When I am using XP, I sure do miss
the search built into Vista- a lot.

X1 Technologies has released its X1 Enterprise Client (formerly X1 Desktop Edition), previously
$US75 ($102.50) for free download.
X1 Enterprise Client is a full-featured desktop search application aimed at organisations and
enterprise use, with a focus on information security.
It indexes an extraordinary 370 file types including many not generally supported in desktop
search apps, such as Adobe Indesign, Microsoft Access databases, vcard files, and more. It also
has support for all the regular formats and programs you’d expect: emails, files, documents,
attachments, pictures, music files, tasks, and calendar items.
One of the slickest features of this desktop search tool is its ability to preview almost any
file type immediately on search.
X1 has close ties with Yahoo. In fact Yahoo Desktop Search is a stripped-down, Yahoo-branded
version of X1, with some bundled indexing of Yahoo web services. The company has made the
Enterprise Client free of charge thanks to an ad-revenue sharing deal with Yahoo.
This new release is freely available from X1 Technologies’ website. Check it out and let us
know your thoughts on it by posting your comments below.
