Blinkx Takes a New Tack on Desktop Search

Several people have suggested I take a look at the new Blinkx 2.0 beta for a better desktop search tool.  From what I've heard, Blinkx takes a very different approach from its competitors by trying to judge the "gist" of any document and automatically show the users related files on the users' PC and other related information from the web.  The new beta includes Search Folders, which let you create topical folders on your computer that are automatically populated with related documents Blinkx finds.  Very innovative ideas, and nobody else seems to pursing them.  However, cool as some of these features sound, I'm still not sure Blinkx is going to be the best fit for my specific needs, which are more about finding/browsing a variety of files on my computer.  Most of the time I'd turn to my search program to find something, I wouldn't need -- or even want -- to waste time with additional information from the Internet (which is what Blinkx seems to do best).  Marc Orchant has posted some thoughts on Blinkx, pointing out some rough spots but ultimately saying the program will stay on his "worth watching" list.
