Like some other free tools available, this is a beta program and a customised version of Blinkx's search software. Searching your PC is just one of its many capabilities and it does a reasonable, if not outstanding job. It indexes the My Documents folder by default, but you can specify other folders or even whole hard disks. It does not index inside Zip files. When you perform a search, results are displayed from your hard disk and the web, including articles from The Times.
