AOL to use Copernic for Desktop Search
According to Search Engine News, AOL is going to use Copernic technology for their branded desktop search. Great article here: http://www.searchenginelowdown.com/2004/12/aol-to-use-copernic-for-desktop-search.html , including:
- speculation that Yahoo will have to trim X1 a lot to make a reasonable download. (I don't know about that: I think the X1 download is about 6MB -- big but not impossibly so).
- speculation that it might be a good idea for AOL to acquire Copernic before a deal with Mamma.com is fully completed (Seems reasonable, but maybe too late now?)
So:
Web - Desktop
AOL - Copernic
Yahoo - X1
MSN - MSN
Google - Google
Ask Jeeves - Ask Jeeves
