Today's hard drives are getting bigger and bigger and it can often take
forever to find something, and the Windows search tool leaves a lot to be
desired.
Google is trying to improve this situation with the launch of its own desktop
search tool. Once installed it will perform a background search of your PC's
entire contents, and then simply add new items as they are created.
You can select which items to index: Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents;
AOL/AIM chats; web history (including secure web pages, if you wish); text video
and other media; and email (Gmail, Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird
only).
Once installed, users can search using the Google website, and a link to a
desktop search for the same item is included at the top of the page. Handy.
This version of the application adds several new features. The most notable
is the ability to search for files across all of your computers, whilst you can
now share information with friends from within the sidebar.
Version 5.1 adds a number of additional Google Gadgets and an improved
sidebar.
