Not realy a bad idea to use the google desktop search tool. I aint using my own comp so i dont think I will be downloading it for now. That will be until i get my personal comp.

once you get used to desktop searching, it almost changes how you change the computer.  at least it has on mine. 

however, instead of using google, try Copernic Desktop Search.  much much faster and better than google desktop.

I agrre with you. I tried Copernic too. It seems better smile.gif
The greatest advantage you can preview the files withour actually opening them!

Everyone has their view. Remember that the above viewpoint is from an archrival of Google in the desktop search field.

I agree with you too. I checked copernic and found it very good and fast.
Are there no privacy concerns with copernic? is it only google?

Copernic have not integrated their esktop search with their web searches, is a good indication...

The link above reads scary though!

I heard some people say it's scary how this search works. It finds files that your computers search couldn't find. Thats amazing and cool, does it pose any security risks?

hi,
I have been using Google Desktop for quite some time now. Actually it has a huge index of over 1 GB on my PC and searching for files is extremely fast and efficient. Moreover u can set it to switch off indexing for certain folders (where u might have personal data) as well.

There have always been privacy concerns for everything from Email to online shopping to whatever.. but that does not stop people from using it.. At least I find it more convenient and useful than harmful.

Cheers.

Hi all,

I have been using Google Desktop Search since version two came out. It is really nice...integrating maps, google talk, gmail, google news, and a todo list all in a clean sidebar. The whole integration is awesome, but then I can search for files on my computer, that is really nice! smile.gif

I agree with cse-icons...I find google desktop more convenient and useful than a concern for privacy.

Go Google!!!

  7. Desktop Search, Google Vs Msn

    Now that both MSN and google have made public their desktop search tool, although beta, let take a

    simple, fast, just as google web search. However, I don't like the idea that intergrating the
    desktop search in the web browser. Also GDS takes too much memories, probably one of the reasons is
    the intergration to browser. No pdf file searching. No customizing of folder. There are a lot of
    room for google to improve. MSN's destop search is as fast, the indexing is the fa....
