PASADENA, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/07/13 — , provider of the leading desktop productivity application that can instantly locate information as fast-as-you-type, today announced its next generation product, X1 Search 8. The newest version of X1-s flagship product features an enhanced, highly intuitive interface to better support the patented X1 fast-as-you-type search of email and files, and now also searches SharePoint and cloud data from a standard desktop client, or a first-in-class, light footprint, “thin” client architected for to seamlessly support virtualized desktops.
Despite popular discussion of today-s “information economy” and resulting information overload, today-s professionals lack a tool to effectively manage their information. Employees face a daily struggle locating critical information, frequently making decisions based on imperfect and incomplete data, or even worse, recreating work.
“X1 Search saves us countless hours of wasted time searching and not finding things. We love the product. Neither Windows Search nor any other product we have tried comes anywhere close to the features, speed or accuracy of X1,” said Ron Nocket, Senior Systems Analyst at Tyco Electronics.
In addition to new functionality in the release, X1 Search-s thin client recognizes the desktop virtualization trend, aligning with IT goals to consolidate desktop resources, providing the customization and flexibility necessary for a distributed workforce. X1 Search-s “thin,” virtual client leverages and maintains X1-s traditional, best-in-class user experience, with the indexing service decoupled from the user interface and virtualized. This game-changing capability uniquely provides a robust search experience, which is often otherwise not possible in virtual desktop environments.
“While business professionals are rapidly adopting virtualized desktop and hybrid cloud environments, traditional search applications simply cannot support such architectures,” said John Patzakis, CEO of X1. “X1 Search 8 changes the game by providing a very fast and highly intuitive user experience to both the virtual and traditional desktop.”
