"Desktop search" Definition:
Desktop search is the name for the field of search tools which search the contents of a user's own computer files, rather than searching the Internet. These tools are designed to find information on the user's PC, including web browser histories, e-mail archives, text documents, sound files, images and video.
One of the main advantages of desktop search programs is that search results arrive in a few seconds; Windows search companion can be some help, but it searches through Windows files and folders only, not e-mail or contact databases, and unless you enable the Indexing Service (in Windows 2000 or XP), the Windows search tool is extremely slow. Windows Vista enables the indexing service by default.
