If an employee connects to your organization’s server index, Copernic business security will only permit them to see the files or folders they have access to. The solution brings improved business security with a central index that takes into account all Windows Access Rights. The platform is renowned for its robust security architecture. Its free version offers support for more than 119 files types whereas the full version lets you index and search over 150 files types including Outlook, Microsoft, PDF, Cloud Services, Microsoft Office, and many more. The system indexes an unlimited number of email messages, files, and documents on you organization server and allows multiple users to find what they need with ease. But high system resource usage, slow indexing and an index limit of 100,000 documents (unless you pay £34 for the Professional upgrade) spoils this utility.Overview of Copernic Search Server BenefitsĬopernic Search Server is a powerful enterprise search solution that helps you find the information you need quickly and more efficiently. The search technology is good as well, with options including Boolean, phonetic, forced stemming and even “approximation” that allows for letter substitutions in keywords. It’s also fast, summarising both structure and concepts from your results – you can, for example, refocus email results to one name (author or recipient) in a single click, with the sidebar changing to reflect that new content. Navigating the interface soon becomes second nature. Document previews show near-perfect formatting and, by moving the filtering and refinement to the sidebar, Exalead has created room for the presentation to dynamically adapt to the content of current search results. Ultimately, though, WDS remains average in this company.Įxalead has dared to be different with its One:Desktop product, most noticeably with the interface. We also like the attention to detail, such as when laptop battery life drops to 25%, the indexing stops to save power, and that the indexer runs as a system service. Where WDS does score is in performance: it’s quick to index and return results, and system resource use is low too. Search refinement is better than Google, although it doesn’t provide the best levels of instant result information. Office application support is exemplary, document previewing good, and there are plenty of handy right-click options, including copy and print. The interface is unchanged from the last version, meaning functional but not exceptional. Microsoft has done better, with the all-new Windows Desktop Search 3 (WDS) built upon the same engine as Instant Search in Outlook 2007 (see issue 148, p50). Google seems to have put more effort in the rest of the suite, with the Gadget Sidebar offering a selection of newsfeeds, clocks and desktop games System resource usage was also quite high. It may work in exactly the same way as Google on the internet, but don’t expect useful category filtering (just a long list sorted by date or relevancy) or integrated document previews. In use, we found Google Desktop to be comparatively slow too, and sticking to a familiar browser-based online search methodology is a mixed blessing. By including Gmail messages in the index, the initial building process took a staggering 23 hours, and even with the Gmail option removed it was still among the slowest on test. Google Desktop promises much, but the actual delivery is a little slow.
