p2pnet.net News:- How does the Ask Jeeves Desktop Search entry into the Desktop Search Stakes stack against all the others, which seem to going up every ten minutes?

It gets a three-point five rating from PC Magazine as a, “Standalone file, e-mail, and Web search utility with a convenient built-in preview for local items,”

“ It has a few limitations, but some of these will be addressed before the final release,” the item says, going on:

“We particularly like the very logical and automatic organization of results into tabs.

“Indexes documents, filenames, metadata, Outlook e-mail messages; speedy standalone search utility; preview of most found items; search results organized into useful categories; integrates with Windows File Open dialogs.

But, “Doesn’t index PDF content; doesn’t index inside ZIP archives; doesn’t index Outlook attachments, contacts, or other non-message items; preview doesn’t display Excel files.”
