Like everyone else who’s been on the Net for more than a year, I have in effect lost virtually all my emails, at least in terms of an operational definition: I need a search engine to find anything that came in more than three hours ago.

I’ve been quite happy with Find, a fast seach engine that also indexes your desktop files. I’ve been using it since it was in beta and have watched the product team sand down the rough edges.

A new version is now coming out. I haven’t tried it because I’m still being extremely cautious about what I load onto to my fragile PC, but I will as soon as a week or so has gone by without a major system crash.

For reasons that surpasseth understanding, Find at find.com has been renamed to X1 (as in the plane that first broke the sound barrier) at www.x1.com I can only assume the company was sued.
