Avvenu does not search e-mails in GDS

If you’re partial to Google Desktop Search, you can do that with Avvenu (www.avvenu.com) installed on your PC and use any browser, including mobile browsers to browse, search and download from your desktop remotely.

I’m one of those who swears by Copernic. I’ve been using it for several years. I recently installed WDS because it’s the only one that completely indexes everything in Outlook (not just email), and the only one that indexes Onenote. I wanted to see how it compared to Copernic.

It didn’t do well. It never seemed to find what I was looking for. So, I set WDS only to index Outlook and Onenote (so I can search from within each application) and I use Copernic to index everything and for search outside Outlook and Onenote. It has worked well, so far. I haven’t noticed a performance drag from having two search indexers running.

I can see where this new mobile app could be useful. It’ll be interesting to see how well it works “in the wild.”
