Back to Copernic Desktop Search

For the past couple of weeks, I've been using the new MSN Toolbar Suite of search tools since it was released. I uninstalled it all today and reinstated MSN suite per se, even though it's still beta, there were three main things that made me decide to stop using it:

1. I don't need a search toolbar in NEO Pro add-on email management shell that I use for email, and which has an excellent search capability including for file attachments.
2. Difficult to pin down fully, but I had the feeling always that with the MSN suite running, things seemed terribly slow on my PC. No constant disk thrashing (as there was with commentary about both of these tools in November. One thing I like about the Copernic product is that I have a little icon in my status bar plus, if I want, a toolbar in the taskbar. That's it. It doesn't stick stuff in Windows Explorer or in Outlook or anywhere else. Is it better at searching than any of the others? I wouldn't say better, exactly. As good as, definitely. And, compared to MSN and Google, it finds more file types. The only thing I don't like is that if I search the web, Copernic defaults to using Office Weblog is running a NevilleHobson.com blog which focuses on business communication and technology.
