Copernic Desktop Search Reviews & Product Details

Nothing. It will not launch. Brittle, cloodgey and bumbling code. Boo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that the proggie will not launch. New install of Windows 10 Pro. Installed, will not launch. Uninstalled, will not launch. The splash java applet starts, it says loading plugins, then it poops the bed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product outperforms any of the Windows/Microsoft search features. It offers more search options. Searches performed by Copernic run quicker. It discovers results that Windows frequently misses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does take a bit more resources than I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good indexing capability - fast and reliable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Non-responsive technical support. I've purchased latest version of Copernic 8 (the one that claims to have fixed the problem with existing index files with partially deleted references) and installed with the Copernic 6 index file remaining on the system. Software did install, but did not run and crashed consistently in latest version of Windows 10. Asked Technical Support for help - no response after 1 week. Lousy.

It does everything it announces very well... excellent for searching among lots of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No support or respect for the user: my computer crashed and I need to reinstall it; the licence doesn't activate (it's connected to the previous installation that doesn't exist any more) and repeated tickets and e-mails remain without answer after a week! They also offer a number if you want to talk to a human: answer machine that says it will open a ticket for you! Final balance: I can't use the solution I just bought!

It works. Brilliantly. Almost instantly. Finding by file date, folder, type, size, content, and/or name. It's worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. A good interface, simple to use, installs quickly (but - reasonably - takes a while to build its index initially). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that suddenly features have disappeared that used to be there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It finds data in many different sources, mail, pdf & images Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes slow, oddly stops indexing sources and needs to be reset, can make your PC very hot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copernic is a great tool to search all the files on your computer. In my book, it's a must have. Should be standard on every computer as it beats hands down whatever Microsoft search tool is on a computer. Very powerful, easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much improvement over the years. The software has been upgraded by the developers but I don't see much of a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can handle massive amount of emails and files. I have over 1.5 million emails & files in various formats, like PST and Thunderbird and is relatively fast. The fact that it can scan and index within word or pdf is great. I have used Copernic for a number of years. The new version was able to use old index file rather than have to reindex.

It can take a few seconds to come up with results. When it starts up it can take a bunch of resources so I would put it into smart mode where it backs off when other processes are running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For those of us who are unorganized, save everything, or aren't using cloud based services like google drive or Dropbox, this is a useful tool for helping to find and locate files on your computer or your server. It is user friendly and can help make you more efficient if organization isn't your strong suit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that we need a tool like this. People should just be organized, but that's not the problem of the software. This solves that problem and is perfect for people like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
