Desktop search represents the field of search applications that enable users to find the information they need using a much more comprehensive algorithm.
As opposed to a normal search, desktop search programs allow users to look for information in the file contents, browser history, emails, multimedia (graphic / audio / video) files and so on.
One of the main advantages of performing a desktop search is that in most cases the search tool is very easy to access and user-friendly, while the results are displayed in just a few seconds.
Typically, these applications will initially build a file index that might take longer to create, but, once it is created, the performed searches will take considerably less time.
