Copernic Desktop Search 2: Final Version Released

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

We’re very excited to announce that we’ve just officially launched the highly anticipated version 2.0 of our flagship product, Copernic Desktop Search. The initial feedback we’re getting is outstanding. Long time users, new users, journalists and bloggers who have played with pre-release versions all agree: it’s a solid, worthwhile upgrade to an already great product. With the help of thousands of testers, we’ve worked hard to iron out the remaining issues and we’ve stamped it with our official Copernic quality seal!

This new release includes too many improvements over v1.7 to list them all in detail. We have tried to summarize the key elements in the What’s New page but these are only the highlights. The user interface has been completely redesigned to improve the search experience, the new deskbar now directly displays results as you type, new unique features such as query correction (a.k.a. "did you mean") have been added, overall performance has been significantly improved, and so much more. Bottom line: the best desktop search just got better!

Copernic Desktop Search Releases!

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

We’ve been pretty quiet lately but you must have guessed we were preparing something… How about not one, but two new Copernic Desktop Search versions in the same day?

1) CDS v1.7: This latest official release of CDS brings very interesting things to the table: many nice additions to the IE toolbar (RSS feed reader and scrolling ticker, keyword-seeking buttons, etc.), brand new network deployment features for system administrators, and more!

2) CDS v2.0 Public Beta: After several weeks of private beta testing, CDS2 Beta is now out in the wild! This version includes a whole new bunch of innovative features and improvements, widening the gap with competing products even more. The build that was released today is just a start since it is not qualified as "feature-complete". Stay tuned for the final version. In the meantime, we hope you’ll like the beta version as much as we do and we can’t wait to get your feedback!
