AOL Spins Off Desktop Search Product
By Nate Mook | Published November 22, 2005, 3:00 PM
AOL's Desktop Search software debuted last year as a component of the company's new AOL Explorer Web browser. Now, version 2.0 of the utility has been spun off as a standalone download with a revamped interface and support for removable media. AOL Desktop Search 2.0 indexes a variety of document types, emails, and even audio and video.
Unlike homegrown desktop search solutions from Microsoft and Google, AOL utilizes technology developed by Copernic. Version 2.0 will feature a full preview window for viewing entire files without opening them, and integrates with the standard Windows Open dialog box. Beta 1 of AOL Desktop Search 2.0 is available for download now, but it's not yet feature complete, company officials say.
I will destroy AOL after I am finished with the smoking ruins of Wal-Mart and the slashed tires of every Geek Squad-mobile I can find.
