MSN Desktop Search Launched

Microsoft has launched its Desktop Search Tool to take on Google, Yahoo, Copernic, x1 etc under the name MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search. There are mixed reviews of the same, however, it is much better than the Beta Version. Like all Microsoft products, it is bound to improve over time, as such I plan to run it in parallel for sometime.

Till now, however, I have found the same to be delivering the desired results. One drawback is that in the Preview pane it does not show the results duly ‘highlighted’ in some colour such as yellow or green for one to be able to zero onto the same quickly. Either I am missing something or this needs to be taken care of.

Comments and views from others who are using such tools are most welcome as they would be a great help.
