Want to search all your PCs from anywhere? Use Windows Desktop Search.

Desktop Search, Search

Want to search all your PCs from anywhere?

Don’t want all your personal data stored on an advertising companies’ server?

Then you should try Windows Desktop Search combined with the free FolderShare application.  With FolderShare your data remains safely on your PCs, but you can search, browse, and access your data from any internet-connected PC.  FolderShare added search integration with WDS last summer.  They were acquired by Microsoft a few months ago and the product was made free at that time.

 

Also, here’s more discussion about Google’s new “feature.”

    How hard would it be to write a helper application or whatever that would allow foldershare’s WDS search funtionality to work with the new “vista wds” ?
