My test was somewhat unfavorable. I didn't do the Copernic Desktop
Search because I didn't see the purpose of searching my computer when I
know where everything is. There is also a different Copernic Search
program (aka "Copernic Agent") which is what I tried. It wants to create
a toolbar on IE but then I usually use Firefox. But it also has a
separate interface for searches as well. I didn't have any advertising
problems and it searches multiple search engines of which google is not
included. I don't like or trust google at all but unfortunately they
still do the best searches, even better than this multi-search engine.
And it is only a web search. Google can also do a group search (usenet
to us old timers) which I find handy at times when searching for
solutions to computer type problems so I still end up using google most
of the time, until something better comes out.
It has potential but still another thumbs down.

I also tried it and was unimpressed. Besides the sponsored links, I did
a
search in music for "Elton John" (first name that popped into my head)
and I
was told it could not locate any music using those terms.
OKaaaaaaaaay. Right.
I tried a few other searches, and found the results to be inferior to
what I
get from Google.
YMMV, but I am with Barney. It sucks.
