Have you used it, it’s actually very very good…
It runs a mini indexing/web server on your machine which can only be accessed through the loop-back address (unless you do routing trickery).
It’s extremly quick, replaces the need for the find option in Outlook and the history function in your browser + it also stores a little screen dump of the webpages visited which is displayed when searching your internet history.
Try it, you can alway uninstall it.

I think Ill wait a bit on that one, tr1stan. Id hate to be caught up in some sort of debacle. The screenshots show your computer contens right on the browser! Sometimes its good not to be “plugged in” IMHO.
Could you explain the routing trickery? I understand its a mini web server. Im guessing it uses a localhost call for page content. But I really dont know.
That’s fair enough…
About the re-routing, yes you access the index through the loopback address, but there is always someone out there wanting to mess around:

Very interesting! This kind of technology really emphasis the importance of properly configured firewalls.
