Yahoo Desktop Search
I've been using desktop searching programs for a while now, and like many others have found them to be indispensible. Today, I installed Yahoo! Desktop Search, and was really impressed by it. I love the fact that when you search for emails, it shows you all the reply and forward controls, but even better was when I searched for a PDF document, and could see the document below the search. Nice! Now if only we could get the same functionality in Thunderbird or Outlook.

I've used Enfish and Google Desktop Search at different times. Google was the easiest to use. But, both slowed my computer's performance due to their need for constant indexing.
With new programs like Photoshop that I use a lot which require a faster computer and more memory, I'm going to wait until I have a new computer before trying another desktop search program.
But, you've made Yahoo Desktop Search sound very appealing and I will try it on my future machine.
