I am a fan and heavy user of Google Desktop Search but have always been curios about Windows Desktop Search and wanted to do a comparison between the two. Well, the guys at Download Squad have beaten me to it and done a good job in comparing the latest offerings from Microsoft and Google.
They looked at a number of factors that are important from a user’s point of view including:
- Indexing options available
- Automatic categorisation of documents
- General Ease of Use

During a conversation with a friend the other day, we got onto the topic of searching for email and I was surprised to find that whilst desktop searching technology has really matured significantly over the last couple of years (with a bit of help from more powerful PC !) most people are not really aware of them are not really benefiting from the power of these fantastic desktop searching technologies.
