  1. Comment - MSN Desktop Search Moves Out of Beta

    "MSN Desktop Search is great because you can program it to behave any way you want, and because it indexes your files in less than half the time as any other search."
    Well, there you have the difference. MSN Desktop Search use indexing. Spotlight doesn't. Spotlight's database is updated on the fly, and is NEVER out of sync. I repeat: It indexes in real-time! It's something completely diiferent than MSN Desktop Search (and far, far better). Still, Microsoft manages to blame Apple for stealing their ideas?!

    Apples Spotlight is linked with the kernel in Mac OS X, so that indexing is only required the very first time you start OS X Tiger. After that, when you add or remove files, the OS will know and update the database on the fly.
