    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Quick way to launch programs, folders, search or shutdown the computer. Excellent for keyboard users.

    Weaknesses: A little heavy on resources, and there is a learning curve for non-tech users.

    Overall Evaluation: Formerly I used SlickRun for starting programs, and now I believe this is the replacement. It is very fast, and if you use keywords in Firefox it will go to those web pages almost instantly. Using Google search + tab, then your search item is also instant. Looking for movies, dictionary and other search items is just as fast. The only negative thing I can see is the documentation is not friendly for non-tech users, which would require a learning curve to get used to setting folders and extensions. It is a 'keeper' for keyboard users. Others need to give it a day or two to get used to it and then you will never give it up. (¯`·._.·ns¢ävË·._.·´¯) www.nscave.com

    Duration of ownership: 10 Months

    Strengths: Makes it a lot easier to find programs or files in a bloated start menu. JUstt start typing and eventually it will find the file or program you're looking for. With the final version, 1.0, there are even more options. It has earned a permanent spot in my tool box.

    Weaknesses: Uses a little too much memory for my tastes, but that depends on the number of programs you tell it to index.

    Overall Evaluation: I love it!
