Flickr Desktop Search is an Adobe AIR based utility which helps you to search Flickr images right from your desktop. The application is very easy and simple to use and basically has three tabs, one is for photo search, second one for groups and the last one for people. All you need is to enter the keyword and select the appropriate tab and click the search button.
The application opens the results in full screen window and the results are shown similar to the one in browser, in fact this application acts as browser. You can navigate other photos directly from the application.
Flickr Desktop Search is a pretty good AIR based app, but the speed is searching is something which needs to be improved, as some searches takes time to display the results.
