What is the currently best Desktop Search software?
mojope:
Hi,
I am working for Exselo. We have just released (February 1st) our 2.0 version of Exselo Desktop. It is 100% free with no limitations, and should be of help for many. No file size limitations, fast and even have a collaboration mode to share information securely with colleagues or friends. This is of course possible to turn off, and you will then have a local desktop search product only.
Feel free to read more about it, download and try it out from our web page: Exselo Web Page
Regards,
Mojope
PS! With this release we published our new downloader. It is still brand new, so you might receive a warning from some browsers that the file is unknown, and you have to forcibly make your browser download the file.

Exselo Desktop looks like it is Outlook-Based on all screenshots. So is this actually a DESKTOP search app at all?

Looks like it's a desktop search tool combined with an Outlook-based collaboration tool. While it looks like it would technically work as a desktop search tool it seems like doing that would be akin to using Directory Opus solely as an image viewer.
mojope:
The main Exselo Desktop program/tool is desktop based, but there is an Outlook add-in to access the tool from within Outlook. The reason for that is that people find that Exselo Desktop do a better/quicker job than the search feature inside of Outlook to find Outlook items, and wanted to be able to access Exselo Desktop while inside of Outlook.
Then again, with the latest release, adding the possibility to share parts of your search index and folder with people you invite, you have the possibility to allow them to do a distributed peer-to-peer search towards your information and vice versa if they have shared information with you. No longer just a private Desktop Search tool, you have the option to collaborate with friends and colleagues by easily share your index and files.
