[windows2000] Best Desktop Search program?

Morning all,

I've been using Copernic for my Desktop search program but am getting a little frustrated with its result display order.

I index a few network fileshares as well as my own PCs contents and often use it when I know the contents of a file, but cannot remember where that file is stored.

Copernic doesn't seem to factor in relevancy in ordering the results, instead its either by file name or location, which means there is often a large number of low relevancy files that I have to scroll through.

However, I do like the programs ability to preview the documents without having to load an external program.

I've dabbled with Google Desktop Search in the past and it seem to score better on the relevancy from, but appears to lack the preview ability.

Can anyone suggest some additional tools I can look into for desktop (and network) search?

Thanks,

Rob
