Why you need indexing software. Right now. « Tech for PR

So, you probably have a gajillion files on your computer — press releases, drafts, media lists, passwords written in Word documents and forgotten — and a whole lot more on your company intranet. I can’t tell you the number of times I had to put together a briefing document for a meeting I’d set up with a reporter and used my indexing software to look up a document made for this reporter by a colleague. It was just sitting there on the intranet, likely never to be used by anyone again — but it ended up shaving 15 minutes off my task.

I’m going to show you how to take back control of your information and how to make use of all that data that is languishing on your intranet. …

I highly recommend Copernic’s Desktop Search, hands down the best indexer available. After you run a search, Copernic provides a handy dandy preview of your document within its own window so you don’t have to open it up to see what’s inside. It has a swanky interface and, of course, is blazingly fast. Better yet, it can easily be told to index the contents of your intranet.
