Well, yes. The Google and Windows desktop searches are only as good as the index, and the index is only updated automatically if you want it to be. If it's up to date and indexing the right places results are near instant. Both tools also supposedly smart enough to wait for idle periods before indexing. Importantly (for me anyway) both GDS and WDS will search Outlook email seamlessly, which Agent Ransack won't. -- Alan Bourke [email protected] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
