Desktop Search Tools

X-1

The top of the line professional computer search assistant is by far X-1. You can download a 15 day free trial or pay the full $74.95 USD to buy. The X1 Search Platform combines several traditionally-separate functions to speed information search requests and action commands: on-the-fly indexing of content, user-friendly search methods, built-in content viewers, and integrated document command center. For server-based environments, key features of the X1 platform can be fully customized; either removed, disabled, added, or locked and easily deployed companywide to offer a standardized search experience.
