Show me the data.
It has often been said that with search, nothing is found until
someone views the results. That point has become very clear
while checking out the Desktop Search competition. They list
the files that the results are in and sometimes display the
first hit, Where it is actually ledgable. Most times the first
file hits are just a little yellow blob on something that was
supposed to look like a page of text.
They brag about finding so many matches in fractions of seconds.
To actually see all the results in context, is painfully slow with
these guys. Spectate Swamp can "Show you the data" in context
much much quicker. Just Enter Enter Enter as you fly through the
results (in context & full screen). Hands down winner SSDS
I merged a few of my files and tested out what was the max size
for two of the others. MDS won't run on my machine?
Google would not index a 44MB text file
Yahoo would not index a 81MB text file
Spectate Swamp has no known text file size limit.
I'm just scratching the surface with the testing.
There are sure to be other major deficiencies.
