Copernic Desktop Search

Copernic Desktop Search is a popular free desktop search tool that searches Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, Acrobat PDFs, Outlook emails, and all popular music, picture and video formats. Copernic can also search your browser history, favourites, and contacts.

The features of the product include the ability to search local hard disks, the Web, and email on Outlook and Outlook Express software. Copernic also allows users to conduct searches using either an application window or a taskbar toolbar, choose the folders they want to have indexed, set indexing to occur in the background, and use Boolean operators to refine the search. Copernic allows users to filter search results based on such attitudes as file size and date; and it provides a preview pane for seeing a file's contents without launching a separate application to open it. In addition, users can store the index file in the folder of their choice; set the time and interval for index updating; and search Outlook contacts, as well as bookmarks and browser history in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape software.

Copernic Desktop Search Key Feature

Search over 150 file types - Depending on the Copernic package you use, index and search over 150 file types, including those you use the most during your day-to-day work, such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Visio, AutoCAD, IBM Notes, Adobe PDF and more!

Search everywhere - you can truly search across your entire work ecosystem—your desktop, your network and the cloud. Build your indexes and when you initiate searches Copernic will update results in the background. Stop being slowed down by other alternatives with which you need to select one drive at a time. With Copernic, it’s one and done!

Hunt for information as you type - Start searching as soon as you start typing in the search bar. Search results are clearly displayed and you can quickly add advanced filters and operators to refine your search even more. When you have found that file, simply double-click on it and the native application will start.

Contextual menu - Right-click on any file in the Preview pane and immediately see the file's context menu. From there act on your files, documents or emails—and find that ever-elusive information you’ve been looking for.

Search operators - Copernic Desktop Search fully supports Boolean operators, such as AND, OR, NOT, NEAR and much more. Also, the search bar uses a prefix search architecture; it can immediately find words beginning with a given prefix (keyword).
