米AOLもデスクトップサーチの準備中 - Copernicと提携

米SearchEngineWatchによると、米AOLもCopernicと提携してデスクトップサーチツールの提供を準備しているという。これでGoogle、Yahoo!、Microsoft、Ask Jeevesと主要な検索エンジンのデスクトップサーチツールが全て明らかになった。

The company plans its own desktop search application that is packaged as part of the new AOL browser that's in beta testing. Any AOL member can access this by signing into AOL, then using the keyword "beta" to reach the beta download area. I've just downloaded the beta but haven't had a chance to play with it. But the desktop search is powered by Copernic, another well regarded desktop search app. (Danny Sullivan, Yahoo Details Desktop Search Plans; Ask Jeeves & MSN Launch This Month, SearchEngineWatch, Dec. 10, 2004)
