    Great software. You can even store the program and its index onto a USB stick or CD-ROM.

    I am not able to see the video of these tutorials. If I could it is really a good job

    I just compared DocFetcher against Google Desktop, X1, and Lookeen (I had already decided against Copernic and Windows Search). DocFetcher and X1 performed the best on average. There is one improvement I'd like to see though... DocFetcher has the ability to use keywords in the filename to associate content. Sometimes though, the only direct reference is in the path (like /foo/bar/mydoc.txt and searching for bar). X1 can find such documents, but DocFetcher cannot. I would like to see including the path's words as part of data DocFetcher uses to determine relevance.
