    I'm not at all satisfied with google's desktop search, nor did I like the look and feel of coppernic.

    are there any you strongly recommend?

    what exactly don't you like about the google desktop search? I've been using it for quite some time now and I think it's pretty good

    lack of advanced features. it doesn't dig deep enough into files (I have log files that're megabytes large), you can't specify filesize, extension, etc. last I checked. which I admit was a while ago.

    Windows search option! :D:D:D

    But, seriously, Google Desktop and Copernic are the only ones that I'm familiar with. There is also Yahoo Desktop Search but, I doubt that it has more features than the two above.

    these seem like such basic features, I really can't believe they aren't in any software out there currently.
