Dan Wismar, Search Blogger

Strange but true, once in a while my dad and I have a blogging intersection.

In this post, he raves about the 'new' Yahoo! desktop search feature. I say 'new' because was seemingly more of a Yahoo! purchase than a Yahoo! development. A very Redmond-esque move, but nobody seems to have noticed. But hey, when you take a $100 product and make it free, people likely won't complain too much.

I uninstalled my google desktop search software some time ago when I discovered they were doing automatic, zero user-notification software updates, which really bugs me. Google Search is a web application, they control when it's updated/changed/removed. Google Desktop Search is a desktop application, on my desktop, and therefore I control when it's update/changed/removed. A simple checkbox, enabled by default, would've worked, fellas. Anyway, I now have to go out and give the new Yahoo! entry a try based on Dad's recommendation.

Of course, what I'm really waiting for is Spotlight.
