Several other desktop search engines come to mind.

Autonomy Corp (Dr. Michael Lynch) has a lot of IP in this area. There current marquee product is IDOL - 'Intelligent Data Operating Layer', but I don't know when this was developed.

One of the products Autonomy created after it was spun off from Neurodynamics in 1996 was ActiveKnowledge, the BAE Systems tool that tips you off to relevant resources in the company archive when you begin typing a document. Another software program under the Autonomy direct-sales banner, Portal-in-a-Box, collects links to archived documents and to data on the Internet it thinks you'll be interested in - based on the texts you've clicked to and read in the past - and weaves it all into a custom-tailored page on your company's Web site.

Copenric Desktop Search - Wiki says initial release was "pre-2000". Searches desktop and network drives.

dtSearch Indexes dozens of file formats including HTML, TXT, XML, ZIP, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Open Office, MP3, TIFF, Outlook and Exchange message stores. Natively indexes Access databases, plus databases in XML, CSV, and DBF formats including FoxPro, dBASE, etc. Indexes SQL databases. Robot spider follows links to discover pages. Dates back to early 1990's. Supports phrase, Boolean, proximity and phonic searches, fuzzy searching, stemming, synonyms, and wildcards.

Tropes Zoom is a desktop search engine and semantic analysis software from Acetic/Semantic-Knowledge. Originally written by Pierre Molette in 1994, Tropes Zoom was the first search engine based on semantic networks to be widely known.
