RecentX Complements Desktop Search Tools

Desktop Search Software from Copernic, Google, X1, Microsoft and others serve their purpose very well. They index your hard drive content and enable searching within documents very fast.

However, these tools do not solve every desktop search problem.

RecentX fills many important gaps that the Desktop Search Tools do not (or cannot) fill.

This article shows why you will need RecentX more often in your daily computer activities compared to a Desktop Search Software.

Too Many Results

Desktop Search Tools scan all of your hundred thousand files on your hard drive. However, only a few hundred files are important to us.

With little thought you will realize that the document you really require is listed amongst hundreds of other trivial files, making it difficult to identify, sort or access.

Whereas, RecentX tracks only recent documents, folders, programs and websites that you accessed in last few months. Hence displays only the items that are most important to you.

Recent Folders

Desktop Search Tools do not index folders (directories) on your hard drive.

This is when you will need RecentX. RecentX automatically tracks the folders (directories) that you use and lets you to access them instantly. Zero navigation.

Accessing Remote Files and Folders (Directories)

RecentX can track files and folders opened from a remote computer.

You will love this feature if you frequently access files and folders on remote computers.

Desktop Search Tools do not index remote documents and folders. Hence you cannot locate them.
