What is Copernic Desktop Search - Home?
Copernic Desktop Search is a commercial desktop search utility for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Three versions of the product are made which target different market segments. Copernic Desktop Search performs a search using file names, file contents and metadata based on an index it creates.

The home edition is free for non-commercial use, and does not support network drive indexing, Outlook appointments, tasks, and notes indexing, saved searches and find-as-you-type.
