Thumbs down for Copernic Desktop Search.

I have been a fan of Copernic Desktop Search over MS, Google for a long time, but the glitches that seemed to be bugs never get fixed. To give an example, I searched for email from one of my colleagues and CDS only lists 6 of them. In fact I have 50+ of them in my Outlook. Somehow CDS ignores them.Maybe I haveto buy the CDS pro version to get my emails indexed properly :).

I had to switch to MS Desktop search, unfortunately. For the emails it seems more robust.

What I liked in CDS was ease of use, ability to show the searched keywords highlighed in its built-in editor, which I can push aside for a reliable functioning.
