I have been playing around with desktop search software since dropping Google's service.

With the help of our Chief Technology Officer, Mark Berns, we have concluded that the new MSN service is the way to go. We tried several other services that many kind readers suggested, but MSN seems to be the least clunky and the least intrusive. I will let you know how MSN performs over the coming weeks.

Thanks again to all those readers who made valuable suggestions.
