Copernic desktop search, the best desktop search yet for Windows 8

Want to find a file in your entire computer using Windows 8 search? Good luck, that won't happen much less on time. Windows 8 has the worst search yet. Slow, lack of accuracy and impossibility to export the search results or run them on a standlone window makes people look for solutions. Most peopel still have their files inside the hard disk instead of the cloud. There they are safer, faster to retrieve, easier to search and can be copied and pasted and edited without delay with any proper application.

The only problem is finding them.

Copernic Desktop Search is the best desktop search for Windows 8 I have tried. It's light, super fast and finds everything the computer has. The free version

The only features Copernic should have is the ability to run programs like we could with Google desktop search and Windows desktop search. To run applications you still have to go to your short cut folder and double click the application.

What can Copernic do?

It searches everything inside the hard disk at the speed of typing (depending on your cpu and hard disk) and finds every single file. You can filter them by type (music, email, document) add more filters such as date and size.

The main advantage is you can "freeze" the search results while browsing the files (windows 7 or 8 search does not allow that unless you search inside a folder) and at the same time you can preview them on a window below the search results.

I don't see how this tool can be any better. It's just perfect. Productivity goes up, you can find anything from just one place which is perfect in a digital world of data fragmentation.
