Copernic Desktop Search allows searching various files, email messages (supporting Outlook Express 5.x/6.x, Outlook 2000/XP/2003, Windows Address Book), Word documents, Excel, PowerPoint, Acrobat PDF, music and video files, graphics etc. To top it all, the search can be performed both on a local computer and in the Internet. Built-in tools for viewing various files allow you to see the search results. For example, if you select in the main window of the information retrieval application the thumbnail of an HTML-document, Copernic Desktop Search will display its contents. Upon installation of the full text search application a small window will be displayed in the Taskbar. In the window you can enter the search query and perform quick search set-up. The speed of search engine operation is of separate notice, as well as the low level of computer resource consuming.

Copernic Desktop Search indexed 20 gigabytes of text within 10 hours 51 minutes. The size of the resulting index was 7 Gb.
