This is a "feature request" for developers search engine tools like Copernic, Filehand, blinkx, dtSearch, dowser, Google DS, X1 and many others in the waiting:
A wishlist for my ideal desktop search tool:
- Should be able to index .mht, .chm & .hlp files
- Should not have separate tabs for emails and files
- Should have an inbuilt viewer for most of the file formats and not just text or MS Office formats
- Should be extensible - ability to support third party plugins or viewers
- Should allow to run date specific search
- Should be able to run search on meta data of graphic and music files
- Should be able to support 'regular expressions' for advanced search
- Should be FREE for life without ads
Feel free to add to this list of "what's missing"
