Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta

Posted by timothy on from the beta-would-be-a-great-name-for-software dept.

Rolan writes "Yahoo! has released to BETA their Desktop Search Tool. It has a much longer list of file types that it will search, including compressed files, than the Google Desktop Search Tool. Though, the usefulness of a good number of those file types would come into question for most people."

    But then the search for 'French Military Victories' would be so bland.
