The X1 Professional Client (formerly X1 Enterprise Client and X1 Desktop Search) is a desktop search product designed by X1 Technologies, Inc..

History

Beta versions of X1 Professional Client were originally released in 2002 under the product name Find. To build the early versions of Find/X1, Bill Gross of Idealab reassembled the team that developed the original Magellan software. The product was first sold and the company (and product) name changed to X1 Technologies, Inc. in 2003 (the company remains an Idealab operating company). The original desktop search product was licensed to users for a price of $75 or $100 through the company's website.

Versions of the software

X1 Professional Client can be downloaded for evaluation from the company's website. This version includes a Yahoo! toolbar for searching the web using X1. After the 30 day free evaluation, some features, such as network drive indexing, are deactivated.

The Enterprise Deployment Kit, includes a central tool to configure the client and deploy it to end users. It also has a limited trial of the server-side piece, the X1 Enterprise Server.
