Copernic Desktop Search 3.2 available in all editions!

Copernic Leave a comment

After the Corporate edition was released, we couldn’t go without updating Home and Professional.

Like CDS Corporate, CDS Professional now includes the result list exporting option. Also, for both Professional and Home, all types of results can now be dragged & dropped. This really comes in handy when searching for a file or email to attach to another message!

In this latest release, the most important highlights are probably the fixes applied in response to issues that were pointed out in version 3.1 regarding the use of CDS with MS Outlook. We heard you and have worked to address those issues in 3.2.

We always take the time to read all of the technical support messages we receive and although we may not answer to every single one, we do listen and try to comply with your requests. Keep them coming, we’re always happy to provide a tool that answers to your needs!

Keep an eye out for the software update notification, which will be visible within CDS Professional and Home in the next couple of days.

Copernic Desktop Search 2: Final Version Released

Copernic Leave a comment

We’re very excited to announce that we’ve just officially launched the highly anticipated version 2.0 of our flagship product, Copernic Desktop Search. The initial feedback we’re getting is outstanding. Long time users, new users, journalists and bloggers who have played with pre-release versions all agree: it’s a solid, worthwhile upgrade to an already great product. With the help of thousands of testers, we’ve worked hard to iron out the remaining issues and we’ve stamped it with our official Copernic quality seal!

This new release includes too many improvements over v1.7 to list them all in detail. We have tried to summarize the key elements in the What’s New page but these are only the highlights. The user interface has been completely redesigned to improve the search experience, the new deskbar now directly displays results as you type, new unique features such as query correction (a.k.a. "did you mean") have been added, overall performance has been significantly improved, and so much more. Bottom line: the best desktop search just got better!

Copernic Desktop Search Releases!

Copernic Leave a comment

We’ve been pretty quiet lately but you must have guessed we were preparing something… How about not one, but two new Copernic Desktop Search versions in the same day?

1) CDS v1.7: This latest official release of CDS brings very interesting things to the table: many nice additions to the IE toolbar (RSS feed reader and scrolling ticker, keyword-seeking buttons, etc.), brand new network deployment features for system administrators, and more!

2) CDS v2.0 Public Beta: After several weeks of private beta testing, CDS2 Beta is now out in the wild! This version includes a whole new bunch of innovative features and improvements, widening the gap with competing products even more. The build that was released today is just a start since it is not qualified as "feature-complete". Stay tuned for the final version. In the meantime, we hope you’ll like the beta version as much as we do and we can’t wait to get your feedback!

CDS 1.63 Released: Built-in OpenOffice Document Support, Firefox 1.5 Toolbar

Copernic Leave a comment

A new version of CDS has been released yesterday and it features one main addition: full content indexing of OpenOffice.org (1.1, 2.x) and StarOffice (7.x and 8.x) documents. Supported file types include Writer text documents, Impress presentations and Calc spreadsheets.

Because of the rapidly growing popularity of these open source office productivity suites – mainly due to the impressive latest upgrades – we decided to add support for OpenDocument files right into the base product, instead of releasing a plug-in which users have to install separately.

CDS 1.63 also features an updated toolbar compatible with Firefox 1.5 and various maintenance fixes.

To the question "What happened to v1.62?" the answer is that it was only released to our distribution partners. You didn’t miss anything: it only included better rebrandability features.

New CDS v1.61 Now Released

Copernic Leave a comment

Even though we know you’re patiently waiting for our next big release, CDS 2.0, we thought that in the meantime you would appreciate a little treat. This update, v1.61, is mainly a maintenance release which fixes a few bugs (hey, it happens!) and improves performance.

There are still a few new features worth noting: all non-password-protected Outlook Express identities are now indexed (instead of only the default one); Word, Excel, PDF, RTF and PowerPoint file handlers have been updated for better compatibility; and the last used category is now definitely more visible in the deskbar than before (Ed, I think you’ll be happy about this :)).

As you can see, we’re not reinventing the wheel here, but we’re sure you’ll find it’s worth it. Version 1.61 is already available for download on the Web site and the auto-update should be enabled in the next few days.
