Do you know Google Desktop?

Today I’ve installed Google Desktop Search, a desktop search application that provides full text search over mails, local files, and the web pages viewed.
Once launched the installer, it will create a service which will indexes all your computer (it will took hours the first time), then search can be activated from the taskbar icon. It’s integrated in the browser, in fact it’s the same as using google, but results are files on the computer!
Another cool feature is that When you view a web page in the browser, Google Desktop “caches” the content so that it can be viewed later, the same version of the page, even if its live content has changed or you’re offline.
Google Desktop Search organizes email search results into conversations, so that all email messages in the same thread are grouped into a single search result.
and basically it doesn’t affect the computer performance because it works only when computer is idle.. great
It’s really useful and funny 🙂
