PHLAT - Intuitive Personal Search
"
PHLAT is a new interface for Windows Desktop Search (enabling search through a user's own email, files, and viewed web pages). PHLAT lets you easily specify queries and filters, attempting to integrate search and browse in one intuitive interface. In addition, Phlat supports a unified tagging (labeling) scheme for organizing personal content across storage systems (files, email, etc.).

PHLAT (Prototype for Helpful Lookup and Tagging) is officially WAY cool. This looks like a must have UI for Windows Desktop Search.
I’ve been thinking about removing WDS for a bit as I didn’t really like its UI and just wasn’t using it much (and I did have time to write my own UI). Well PHLAT has convinced me to keep it around a while longer.
PHLAT MUCH closer to the way I want to be able to search my desktop. It’s the date grouping and interactive nature that I really dig. Enter a broad term and then use PHLAT to sift through the hits, narrowing the hits down, by date, path, file type, etc…
Now I just wish the .Net source were release too… ;)
If you have WDS, and like playing with new stuff, you owe it to yourself to check this out (can you tell I’m totally digging it? ;)
