Editor's Review

Copernic Desktop Search Professional is a highly useful desktop utility application, allowing users to quickly and easily search through their PC's contents, just as they would with an online search engine. Providing a rapid search for files, emails, archives, and important system data, Copernic Desktop Search Professional offers significantly faster and more accurate results than Windows' built-in search features. Powered by a complete search index of users' PCs, Copernic Desktop Search Professional is one of the most comprehensive, convenient, and powerful search options for PC users.

While Windows offers a range of built-in search options, few can compare to Copernic Desktop Search's depth and ability. Built-in search tools typically operate through a real-time search of local drives and folders, which can be both time consuming for users and taxing for PC hardware. Rather than operating using a slower real-time search, Copernic Desktop Search Professional continuously builds an index of local PC data, providing an ultra-quick file and folder search for users.

A range of features add to Desktop Search Professional's convenience, but one that stands out in particular is the Copernic Desktop tool - a built-in search widget for the Windows taskbar. Rather than requiring users to open Desktop Search Professional as a separate application, users can simply type their search queries into the Desktop Search field, further lowering time and increasing efficiency.

The Professional-level edition of Copernic Desktop Search is aimed at small business and enterprise users, and the efficiency increase from the application is instantly noticeable. Files can easily be tracked down in seconds rather than minutes, and important business data can be searched for in emails, text file information, and other writable and non-writable document formats.

While highly convenient for professional users, there are some small nagging issues that could make the transition to Desktop Search Professional difficult. Some users have reported issues with 64-bit Windows installations, which cause Desktop Search Professional to freeze during installation, while free version users have complained of adware installations.

Copernic Desktop Search Professional: What We Liked

Search is significantly faster than with built-in Windows XP or Vista utilities, thanks to Copernic Desktop Search Professional's use of an always-on index.

Built-in Copernic Desktop tool keeps search in an easy position to access.

Emails, business documents, and writable files can all be searched through, allowing business users to pinpoint information easily.

Copernic Desktop Search Professional: What We Didn't Like

64-bit users have experienced installation and compatibility issues.

Free version includes adware, although the paid installation is advertising-free.

Copernic Support

Desktop Search Professional includes offline documentation, and further support is available via Copernic's website, including product manuals, FAQs, and an email-based support form. Phone support is available for corporate and enterprise users.
