Yahoo desktop search

[Thomas Dowling]

Since there were some posts when Google Desktop put out a beta, I 
thought I'd point out that Yahoo's alternative is now available at 
<http://desktop.yahoo.com/> (Windows only).  As with Google Desktop, it 
assumes a Microsoft-dominant software suite; it understands Outlook 
contacts, and Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail folders.  It provides 
its own interface rather than displaying search results in the browser, 
and has a pretty slick preview panel with viewers for the various file 
formats it can index, showing hit highlights within the documents as you 
view results.
