Yahoo has just put out their own desktop search at http://desktop.yahoo.com . I eagerly downloaded it to try it out and even opened up Outlook to type out a review. And my review is...
Actually, I have no clue how good it is. It crashes every time I try to start it -with a blank message box first and then a message box saying 'Runtime error 216 at 0001E6F3'.
I can't find a resolution yet at the forums on the site. So if anyone is experiencing similar problems, leave a comment. I'm not degrading the product in any way - its still in beta and there could be some weird conflict on my machine. Once I get it fixed, expect to see a full review
Update: I fixed this on my own. The problem was that the installer didn't detect that I was running in non-admin mode - so something broke somewhere. On a hunch, I ran it with admin privileges and everything worked. Yahoo - this is what happens when you use a non-standard installer and not Windows Installer.It's scanning now - I'll post a review when it is done
