Desktop Search

New resolution - more frequent blogging ; )

I thought it would be interesting to test Google's objectivity by sending it this query on the hot phrase for 2005 "desktop search." Suprisingly Google returned a pretty intereresting result. Here's the top-five results.

#1 - Google Desktop Search
#2 - About Google Desktop Search
#3 - Copernic: Software to search, find, and manage information
#4 - MSN Toolbar Suite Beta with MSN Desktop Search
#5 - Slashdot | Yahoo Release Desktop Search Tool Beta

Can't blame them for #1 and #2, they're obligated to their shareholders. #3 was nice to see becase right now the Copernic solution is my favorite - although I haven't tried the MSN or Yahoo! options yet. The MSN search tool is next on my list to try and frankly I don't think I'll ever get around to trying Yahoo's implementation - after all, they didn't even really make it onto Google's short-list ; )
