Yahoo desktop search (YDS)
It looks like Yahoo is finally entering the fray. Joining Google and Microsoft, Yahoo now has its own free desktop search tool providing users the ability to search their entire hard drive as well as the internet. I have only used Google’s version so far and found it to be somewhat slow. Yahoo promises to be fast and support over 200 files types, so I’ll have to see.
Apparently, YDS is based on technology from X1 which has had a great reputation for some time now.
