Copernic vs Google Desktop Search

I know there are other Desktop Search Tools out there now but I ahvent bothered looking for any yet.
So far I have tried Google and Copernic. I was convinvced to try Copernic largely from my previous experience with them.
However I wasn't convinced to stick with them after about an hour of trying to use it. Even this article from PC Woprld couldnt convince me, though it gave Copernic a good rap.
I felt it wasn't intuitive to use whereas the Google tool uses the familiar web interface. Second I struggled to find the same results I achieved in my Google desktop search. Finally Copernic didnt seem to be able to search network drives - even mapped ones, whereas Google did locate files on network shares.
So Copernic was uninstalled and recycled and Google is running strong on my desktop.
