Ever just know that you wrote something brilliant once that applies to what you need to write now, but have no idea what file it might be in on your hard drive? We here at What's Up have been test-driving Copernic Desktop, a free download for Windows users that sets itself up to index your hard drive for files and, if you like, e-mails and web pages. It can find any word or phrase on your hard drive with lightening speed, putting the pathetic Windows search facility to shame. It is easy and intuitive to use. We are told that it contains no spyware and makes minimal use of your computer's resources. Unlike Google Desktop, Copernic Desktop can search the content of WordPerfect and pdf files, as well as MS Word. What's Up's lawyers remind us to remind you that we bear no responsibility for what happens to you if you try this software, and cannot guarantee that any writing you recover really is brilliant. Even so, if you wish to learn more, click here.
