Yep it seems a very nice tool. My single complaint about it is that Desktop search is not able to index also mbox type mail. ./the_mindstorm

<strong>Google Desktop Search</strong> If it supported my platform, I would surely check out Google Desktop Search. As it doesn&#8217;t I&#8217;ll wait for Spotlight....

Google already searches my mail for me, what I'm after is some kind of plugin API so I can teach it to index custom application types. Sort of like a google powered Beagle / Dashboard.

It's only for Windows so I can't use it. Sad ...

Great speed but why did they choose a web interface? It could have been done so much better as a rich client tightly integrated with the desktop.

I you like speed check out http://www.lookoutsoft.com/Lookout/ It can handle your Outlook emails with attachements and also files in your filesystem. And it's blazing fast... And it's got a nice UI! It's the best software I've installed in years

Fundamentally the way I search my computer is so different than the way I search the Internet I don't see how one model can work for both. When I'm on google.com I'm normally trying to search for information. When I'm on my computer I'm trying to locate information. Maybe I just don't have enough stuff on my computer that I don't see the usefulness of Google Desktop.

I wish I could get it to work. After I install it both IE and FireFox cease functioning so then I cannot get to the preferences page since it is web based. A simple de install and things are fine. weird
