For the most part people don't need desktop search.
They have all lived without it until now.
But for those that have lots of daily details and computer
related functions, maybe Desktop Search can make your busy
life, easier. Those that have Digital Cameras or Camcorders
can make quick use of this search as a screen saver.

I've been using search since the mid 80's. From source code search
to examining database text extracts. I know what's needed from
search. I've kept all kinds of typewritten notes. From the items
on my grocery list and their cost, to things far more noteworthy.

A key feature of this search, is it's notepad capabilities.

to see the most recent notes in my notes.txt file:
Start the program
Prompt #1 (the default is notes.txt) hit enter
Prompt #2 (the default is 'Y' for last page) hit enter.
the last page of notes appear.

To add notes to the notes.txt file:
Start the program
Prompt #1 (the default is notes.txt) hit enter
Prompt #2 (the default is 'y') enter 'e' the enter notes option
you are prompted for line after line of input. enter enter enter
to exit.

Very fast and very easy to make notes and view them.

Since this app, I have been keeping a lot of screen captures to Jpg.
As well as all kinds of Video from my Mini DVD Camcorder.

If you have enough data, to want a search. You had better have a good
backup plan for that data. This app makes the txt, jpg, mpg, and mp3
secure and very transportable. I worry about those other data formats, 2nd.

If you want to share your stuff like I do, it had better be portable.
From PC to PC. and from software package to software package. Your data
shouldn't lock you into any one program. If you can't take it with you.
You can't take it with you. Doing it this way, You can.

Desktop search is primarily about finding your data in context.
I search for "Joe Smith" I might be looking for his phone number
birthdate or somebody, I met with him. For the most part I am not
interested in the file that it came from.

This is the desktop search your need to comfortably accumulate and
retrieve all the memories and moments of a lifetime in Text, Pictures
Music and Video (txt, jpg, mp3 & mpg). Easily shared and in some of
the more portable data formats. This data is yours. (permanently)
And without a whole lot of geekery involved.

For me this is Personal Desktop Search. The other search engines are
database driven net monstrosities, trying to be Desktop Search.
