3.1. Search over 170 file types

Depending on the Copernic package you use, index and search over 170 file types, including those you use the most during your day-to-day work, such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Visio, AutoCAD, IBM Notes, Adobe PDF and more!

3.2. Search everywhere

Thanks to Copernic, you can truly search across your entire work ecosystem—your desktop, your network and the cloud. Build your indexes and when you initiate searches Copernic will update results in the background. Stop being slowed down by other alternatives with which you need to select one drive at a time. With Copernic, it’s one and done!

3.3. Available in 11 languages

You can use Copernic in one of 11 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean.

3.4. Hunt for information as you type

Start searching as soon as you start typing in the search bar. Search results are clearly displayed and you can quickly add advanced filters and operators to refine your search even more. When you have found that file, simply double-click on it and the native application will start.

3.5. Refine fields

The Refine pane on the left of the interface allows you to forage further into the computer files and retrieve exactly what you’re looking for. Customize your search features by adding or removing criteria linked with each search category.

Right-click on any file in the Preview pane and immediately see the file’s context menu. From there act on your files, documents or emails—and find that ever-elusive information you’ve been looking for.

3.7. Search operators

Copernic Desktop Search fully supports Boolean operators, such as AND, OR, NOT, NEAR and much more. Also, the search bar uses a prefix search architecture; it can immediately find words beginning with a given prefix (keyword). How’s that for fast?

3.8. Low computer resources

Kickstart your teams’ productivity! While Copernic searches, employees can spend time on more value-added tasks. Copernic Business Search has the lowest memory footprint and computer resource usage in the enterprise search industry.
