Which is better? Does Copernic score under many angles?

Thanks for all pointers

I used both of them, found them sucky, and then switched to Turbo Searcher. Its the best indexing software, according to me.

AvaFind - is it for all file types or just the commonly used ones?

Just start typing and you will get all the files which starts with whatever you typed... if i recall correctly, you can also search by file types. give this s/w a shot and check out. You can also download a free version. check http://www.think-less-do-more.com/avafind/ for more info.

it requires 1GB RAM !

Uses windows desktop search to provide local search results, only the results are provided as a visual treat.

^^yeah but my xp installation is bare minimum now, i don't use it much. I tried some software named like Archeviras (dont remember name...lolz) and other various software too but they all were bloatware.

There are much better buit-in ways to do that in some other OS. But thats offtopic.
