    Check out Copernic. I think it fits the bill.

    I tried in the past all of them, Google, yahoo. copernic, MSN. All of them were missing the thing in the results. The best search is built in windows search.

    X1 Enterprise Client (it is for home use, despite the name) also allows you to install it for just one user or everyone who uses the computer.

    X1 is now free (used to cost $99 and is excellent). Yahoo desktop search uses a more limited version of the X1 engine.

    Can download here.

    I think Windows built-in search engine is quite good. :)

    the built in windows search is really slow thou and only uses defined terms as far as im aware. also msn desktop search which is called windows desktop search is just an enhanced version of the builtin windows search so that shousl be the best
