The hottest desktop search (DS) in the last week, coinciding Baidu and Google to rush to launch their own Chinese version of desktop search, yesterday I didn't hesitate to install two software on the hard disk, starting my trial journey .
The software is slightly 3300K, and Google is slightly 1123K. However, Google supports plug-ins. If the plugin is installed, it is not very thin. From opening search page, you can find that both are very similar. From the release of the product, Google's English version is released last year, and it is self-evident that BAIDU is naturally imitated. However, in IT, you can imitate others. It can be successful, see Microsoft's Office, Windows, DOS knows. The two are similar on the search interface, but it is obvious that the icon for Google feels a bit rough, do not want to have a consistent style, which may be rushing to release the product with Baidu.
The next step is to establish an index, whether it is GDS (Google Desktop Search) or BDS (Baidu Hard Search) is very time consuming, it is not a one or two hours of the official website. Whether GDS or BDS is very intelligent, you can do the user's mouse and keyboard operation, once you find that there is a movement, stop the index. However, Baidu seems to be more smart, starting at least a little slowly index, so that users seem to feel, Google is very stupid, as long as the keyboard has operation, it will stop working. However, Google has a percentage in the index process, which is more appropriate. After N hours of index (the author is running on the unit machine, work, it is impossible to do a keyboard, so time it is multipoint). Comparison of files, the number of files of Baidu is 131, 837, and Google is 100, 351. After the index, the installation directory of Baidu is more than 630m. The index file of a whole disc is only a few megabytes. I don't know where the guy is going to put the index file? Who knows tell me. Open Google's directory to find a ridiculous thing, look-> This kind of user prompt is generally only in some Pub's FTP, you can see :)
It is now looking at the key search quality. I don't feel satisfied. For example, I have a file c: /vistors.exe baidu can search, Google is not searching, I changed a c: /j2sdk1.4.2/bin/beanreg.dll, This time, the Baidu search is not found, Google can search, I really don't know how to get, dizzy. This is the name of the search file, the search file content is similar, Google's advantage is on the search history record and email, and the support for Gmail is best, huh, it is not a family. However, Baidu can search for RAR, ZIP, and all custom file types, which seems to be more practical. The search results showing the more humanization points of Google than Baidu, such as the image of the image displayed directly on the page, this feature is good, and you can select the directory where you open this file directly in the search results. The title is given when the web file is displayed, and the bottom is the path, unlike the baidu stupid to put a file name. There is also a worth mentioning that when you search for GDS, you will also have a desktop search from local and display a link and search results. You can go to your desktop search at a point, this feature is very Yes, Google's technicians are really happy.
Whether g is G or B is based on an index file, which limits the timeliness and accuracy of the search. I made a test, set up a PLPL.DOC file in the C root catalog, and search for Search with GDS and BDS. The GDS has no result, but BDS accurately shows a record. I did a few tests again, and I tried uncomfortable. At that time, I was very surprised by this feature. Later, the baidu may be a file operation in the entire hard disk from the background, as long as there is a new file to establish a Juba join index. This feature seems to make up for the limitations of index search. I also did it. BAIDU is all the ancient brain, and you are a kimono or a service. Google looks a smart point. Only one, discovered that or I yesterday in Keso's log The Google Desktop Search for "Koard" test proposed in Chinese version. After a comprehensive trial, I feel that the GDS fancy point, BDS is more practical, but the GDS supports plug-ins so that the masses can be launched for him for him, such as the more famous Larry series plug-in, Kongulo's Spider, is a very good plugin. BDS looks old and realistic, functional tries to imitate Google, search quality is not inferior to Google, even more exceeding, today's LAN has problems, otherwise I will test the performance of BDS on the network drive, anyway GDS The bug is noisy on GooglegRoup, such as the number of search for the number of files, limited to the second hard disk, and the hard drive of multi-partitions cannot be indexed (NOT INDEXING ALVES?), Network drivers, etc. Google has a Chinese version very early, but it has been studying Chinese word, which is the "kimono" problem, comparing Baidu to know the needs of themselves, manage your kimono or service, some are displayed, At least one or two, the difference is that you can't find it? People who have been examined have known that they will not answer the problem, and they can have a hard part of one or two points :)
