I should have known. I'd find the answer here.
The techies don't know dick about Desktop Search. (with the exception of 1 or TWO)
That's why I have never had any takers on a desktop search challenge. Even moreso now, when they can look at and test out this wonderful program. They know the Spectate Swamp would make them look bad. There search came from internet search. What rubbish.
Why techies don't need search. They don't keep notes like I did throughout my career. 1 or 2 type written pages per day every day. Seldom did I solve the same problem twice. I'd check my notes for any previous errors. They don't keep notes because they are covering their butts and for job security. I was a consultant most of the time. My superiors loved the detail they got. I can search my inmails and find the first time I was called ignorant. That was a fun debate. You know you are winning when the other side resorts to name calling. I'm saving these nasty clips for motivational purposes. In the destkop search showdown I'll make them eat their words.
In all my years I seen some pretty sad code too. If I had spent my time whining about it like this bunch. I would have been down the road. I made changes to code where the originator was contacted and he said "Don't touch that Code" . I took 2 or 3 days to flowchart it and made the changes that worked. I was the maintenance guy for that project till I left.
I know now that I need to SHOW YOU how I use desktop search, to make compter life simpler. When you can understand everything that the program does. And you will. It will be far easier for you to make use of it. SORRY for calling you all clueless. You just never saw or heard of real desktop search before.
My data is at my fingertips and as secure as I want it. Can't touch this Search.
"Na na na na Can't touch this! Hammer Time!"
