Yahoo! announced yesterday that their desktop search tool was leaving beta for an official launch. The software indexes over 300 files types including email messages, audio and video files and Word documents. A Yahoo! spokesperson wouldn't disclose how many users have downloaded the software, but the company faces stiff competition from popular desktop search tools from Copernic and Google.
Designed to help users "find all [their] emails, attachments, files, instant messages and contacts," Yahoo! Desktop Search allows users to preview results as they search. Indexing options can be customized depending on a user's content priorities.
To download the latest version, visit Yahoo!'s Desktop Search page.
