Desktop Search (Cont’d)

without comments

As part of Office 2007 (Beta2TR), I’ve installed the latest beta of Windows Desktop Search. It seems to work reasonably well, but it can’t index network drives. We map “My Documents” out to a server, so Windows Desktop Search 3.0 Beta is more or less useless for anything other that acting as the search engine integrated into Outlook 2007.

I’ve upgraded Copernic to Version 2.0 and it’s doing a great job. PC Pro magazine seems to agree. Unfortunately, Version 2 still doesn’t search inside .zip files.

New Server

without comments

This blog has moved to a new server, from my desktop Windows system to a recycled Fedora Linux system. We had to to some tricky stuff at the firewall to keep from using another external IP, so if things get weird, let me know.

(update 26 Oct 2006: Now powered by Fedora Core 6.)
