search engines for your PC

Slate.com has a great article about various search tools that can be downloaded onto your PC. If you've ever tried to search for a file using Microsoft's "search" function you know that it takes forever and it's not that useful. Slate rates Copernic as the best of the lot and I just downloaded it. It is very fast and so far it's done a great job of finding the documents I've tried searching for. It's worth checking out.
