Gaviri PocketSearchComments on: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/gaviri-pocketsearch/ free licensed software daily Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:03:34 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: asdex http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/gaviri-pocketsearch/comment-page-3/#comment-97711 asdex Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:38:53 +0000 http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/gaviri-pocketsearch/#comment-97711 I think this software has been bought by someone. It's gone of the net and the site is closed. I have a copy and it's excellent- better than all the other search engines I have tried. Lookout also was bought out. I use it and it's much better than the Windows search it was incorporated into. I think this software has been bought by someone. It’s gone of the net and the site is closed.

For whatever reason, I missed it earlier on. I was rereading all the comments with the objective of compiling all the suggestions for our development team when I realized I had missed your post. Fubar already responded to the index relocation so I won't address that -- thanks Fubar. I am responding to the rest of your post: [The Gaviri PocketSearch index] is smaller than the index for Copernic by the way. (The various index files for that are taking up over 800MB at the moment.) This is one of the key differences between a desktop and Gaviri PocketSearch (a universal search engine that runs of portable devices and networks). The size of the index was kept very small even though we index more data than Copernic. The reason for this is that Gaviri PocketSearch is portable, you can install it on a flash drive, an external drive, a CompactFlash, etc., not just on the desktop. When you install Gaviri PocketSearch on a 1 or 2 GB flash drive, you don't want the index taking up over half the drive. So this and some other technical design issues are the differences between Gaviri PocketSearch -- which is NOT a desktop search and the other search engines on the market. It won’t be easy to grab a market share of the DTS market, given the number of free programs out there, that’s for sure! Gaviri PocketSearch is not a desktop search application even though it runs on the desktop. Gaviri PocketSearch is a universal search engine that runs on the desktop, home and office network, on smartphones and on most portable devices. It is a universal, adaptive search platform. It is universal because it runs on desktops, networks, Windows Mobile and portable devices. It is adaptive because you can run it like a regular desktop, but also like a portable search: you install Gaviri PocketSearch on the portable device and take search with you -- your search is portable, just like your device and data. None of the search engines on the market today will run on the network or on portable devices -- desktop, network and portable search are all plug and play for Gaviri PocketSearch. We have in fact renamed Gaviri PocketSearch to Gaviri Universal Search to make the distinction that we are not a DTS. DTS are answers to yesterday's search problems. Today users have a plethora of devices: dekstop, home networks, smartphones, MP3 players, flash, external and CompactFlash so we need a way to do a universal search across all these devices, that is what Gaviri PocketSearch does. We will continue to find ways to properly distinguish ourselves from DTS. Chaos Intellect: We should be able to support Chaos Intellect. We do support .eml right now. You may send me email at emekaa@gaviri.com and we can work out how to provide support for Chaos Intellect. I will download a trial version of the software and see what needs to be done. Let the readers on the Chaos forums know that Gaviri Universal Search will provide support for Chaos Intellect. (From what I’ve read in the Chaos forums, Copernic and other DTS companies have been so far unresponsive to any request from Chaos users - and there are many of us around the world using Chaos software!) This is one of the biggest differences between us and the other DTS companies: We listen to our customers. Another feature that would have people moving to PocketSearch over other free programs (I reckon anyway) would be some kind of viewer for mindmap programs (such as Mindjet’s MindManager, or the ConceptDraw mapping program). Other DTS programs will find the files ok, but you can’t preview the mindmap itself. (Not that I’ve found anyway) And MindManager has a HUGE user base! We will investigate and implement in the next version if it is not very difficult to provide support for mindmap in the preview pane. we will provide preview support for mindmap in a later version if it will be difficult for us to do so in the upcoming version. Finally, I’d like to say how much I appreciate the fact that Yuriy and Emiri have been so actively participating in the discussions here. Thank you very much too for taking the time to download, install and use Gaviri PocketSearch! By the way, Gaviri Technologies works with the Melbourne PC users group in Australia. #79 – Sue – sorry for the belated response to your post. For whatever reason, I missed it earlier on.

Thank you for the thorough workout you are giving Gaviri PocketSearch. We have compiled all the suggestions received from GAOTD users and will make sure we address these in the upcoming release. If you like, send me your email address and we will make sure we send you beta of version 3.0.

It would be helpful if DVR-MS metadata were indexed. I also discovered that only XML tags are being indexed; it would be extremely helpful to have the option to index the entire XML file.

For example, you can search all files in the All Files category, and use Sorting Options, Sort by Date (Newer First) to find the newest or most recently modified files on your system / network / devices (ignoring incorrect dates, such as some from a Game Giveaway of the Day which had 2008 dates). When Gaviri fixes the file size bug, you'll be able to Sort by Size (Bigger First) to find the largest files.

The title bar also shows trial now. I haven't made any changes to the program that I'm aware of so I don't know what is happening. I am also getting a system tray message that the program is doing a first scan even though it had scanned for multiple days (it took a long time to get through my Eudora message folders). Speaking of Eudora, message dates are all off showing dates in 1999. I'm running the latest version of the program. Lastly, When I select exit from the tray I get a "closing" window with an indicator showing activity. The program never closes. If I double click on the tray icon the main interface pops up. I think click the "X" button in the upper right, and finally the program closes.
