MSN Desktop Search and Onfolio

Here's a link to a good article comparing desktop search tools as well as tips on getting MSN search to work with Onfolio:

Ars Technica has a great review of several desktop search software packages available currently. It really goes through good enough detail to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each software and matched my experience as well. The only ones here I haven't tested are Copernic and Ask Jeeves. But the winner is my choice as well: MSN Desktop Search. This has consistently stayed on my desktop and laptop and I use it several times a day....

Hmmm, are you sure your Onfolio collections are getting indexed by MSN? This isn't possible as far as I know (yet... but we're working on it).

Well, it's not ideal, but they are indexed. I'm using Onfolio Publisher to publish my collection to a local directory. Since this is essentially an HTML file, it's indexed completely. When I search in MSN, I get index.htm (Main Collection) as a result, thus I know it's in Onfolio. That's the best I have so far.

Ideally, you should have an iFilter for .cfs files. Then, MSN will automatically search and index them. Although, I'll still get a Main Collection.cfs as a result that opens up in Onfolio.
