For 2010, organizations are looking to invest in technologies yielding a strong positive Return On Investment. (ROI) Information management is a serious issue for many people and organizations. More and more information is gathered in the digital world and small and large corporations need to have fast, efficient, and reliable ways to manage, locate, and retrieve information.
For many companies, one primary objective is to seek technologies making employees more productive and efficient while decreasing cost of operations.
Desktop Search Technology (DST) scans your hard-drive, network and shared drives and creates an index of keywords linked to all of your files. An employee can instantly search and view documents within the Search application without having to waste valuable time tracking and looking for information. In fact, with Copernic Desktop Search, you do not even have to open the associated program to see a quick preview. In general, Copernic estimates that its software cuts the users file search-time by more than 50%. Therefore, Copernic Desktop Search allows them to use time being productive, not searching for information or even having to ask another employee, a supplier, or client to resend a document.
Assumption:
On average, an employee spends 2 hours per day just for searching, managing, organizing or forwarding emails or files. The employee will work 8 hours/day at 20$/hour.

Last week, the Copernic Desktop Search product page was redesign to ease the navigation and present relevant information more efficiently. We wanted to make it more intuitive for the user to fit his/her needs. The page was simplified and now optimizes the offering to our visitors. We wanted to maximize and keep the relevant content on the website only.
The Copernic Desktop Search Professional page was remodeled to concentrate all the information on our best-selling software in one page. A brand new title was given: Find all data on your desktop, peripherals and network instantly. The title is better suited to Copernic Desktop Search Professional. It is easy and fast to navigate. The visitor does not waste time trying to find relevant information buried deep into multiple pages. All the content is accessible instantly which ties in the concept of our software: Find all your files and emails fast.
Enjoy our brand new redesigned pages.

We’ve talked about real-time search engines in a previous post. Now, Google has announced that it will become one of the players with its own version of real-time search results which, I must admit, works pretty well. On the official Google blog, real-time results are said to be officially launched in the next few days.
To try it out right away, you can go to Google Trends, click on a hot topic, enable the search options and then select “Latest” from the options on the left side of the screen. Or, if you feel comfortable with URL parameters, you may also go directly to Google, perform a search and add the URL parameter “esrch=RTSearch”.
Once the search is performed, you don’t need to launch it over again to get instant results as they become available. Posts from Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, etc. are displayed in real-time as well as blog posts and web results. To follow a topic and stay up-to-date, this feature will become really handy. Perform a search, leave the browser window open, sit back and watch everything that is being said on-the-spot.
Compared to the similar tools which we discussed before, Google’s version is very simple and seems to provide a complete range of results from multiple feeds (not just Twitter).
| I haven’t had a chance to play a lot with Bing’s real-time implementation yet, but at first glance, it seems to be a little less “real-time” than Google’s. As tweets keep coming in Google’s window, I see no change in Bing’s and the last tweets appearing are marked “4 minutes ago”. If I want new tweets to appear in Bing’s window, I need to launch the search over and over. |
Google Real Search vs Bing |
Unfortunately, Bing’s realt-ime search implementation is not ready to face Google right now. It is still in Beta, so there might still be hope for improvements before it is officially launched.
