Best Desktop Search Software - Page 2

Researched and written by Gauri Pawsey

Desktop search software allows users to quickly find files, folders, or specific content stored on their personal computers and certain connected applications. These applications promote individual productivity by helping employees track down important information, launch applications, and share timely content or data with team members. Desktop search tools can be utilized by anyone with a personal desktop or laptop computer used for business. Proper use of these tools can greatly reduce time spent searching for relevant files or specific information and improve efficiency and communication across an organization.

Products in the Desktop Search category are smaller-scale versions of enterprise search software, which offers convenient indexing and access to shared folders and applications within an organization. Desktop search products will typically index files stored on-premise within the user’s operating system; however, it is important to note that some products are only compatible with specific operating systems. Additionally, these tools may sync with a user’s file storage and sharing software, email software, calendar software, and/or note-taking management software to ensure the containing content is accounted for with local searches.

To qualify for inclusion in the Desktop Search category, a product must:

Index compatible files within a user’s personal computer and/or relevant applications
Offer comprehensive search functionality based on keywords and other fields (e.g., publication date, file type, etc.)
Allow users to restore, launch, or share relevant files and applications as needed
