 | | Google has brought a Web-searching paradigm to the desktop and the result is a very clunky interface. | | | I'm currently using the Google Desktop on my computer as well. | | | Do a regular Google search and GD results are inlined right at the top (see screenshots for how it all works). |

| | PCWorld.com - Google Updates Desktop Search Tool |
| | Desktop search is viewed as an important area of the overall search engine market, because increasingly users expect to be able to find information on their PCs in the same way they find information on the Internet. | | | Although this desktop search tool is designed for use by consumers, Google continues to work hard at developing a version that is appropriate for the workplace, he says. | | | Google plans to launch on Monday an updated version of its desktop search tool with enhancements including the ability to search the full text of Adobe PDF files and the metadata of multimedia files, a Google executive says. |

| | Google computing is based on searching data, not organizing it. | | | The Sidebar in Google Desktop Search is an amazing piece of code, especially given that it's only the first version of this tool. | | | Lately, much of this software has been coming from Google, and with a massive cash hoard and more on the way, Google is poised to take on Microsoft in more and more areas. |

| | Google Desktop can be formatted as a search bar in your taskbar, floating on your desktop or a full-fledged sidebar. | | | The new Beta version 2, (gamma?) of Google Desktop was recently released, and I have been using it ever since. | | | If you haven’t tried one or both, I urge you to check them out: http://www.google.com/ig and http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ It’s tough to rate Google Desktop since it is still in Beta but I feel it can only get better from what is already a stellar addition to the Google family. |

| | Google's desktop search software is so good that it exposes vulnerabilities on your computer that you didn't know about. | | | The underlying problems would remain: The private Web pages would still be in the browser's cache; the encryption program would still be leaving copies of the plain-text files in the operating system's cache; and the administrator could still eavesdrop on anyone's computer to which he or she has access. | | | Last month, Google released a beta version of its desktop search software: Google Desktop Search. |

| | I have been using Copernic Desktop Search before Google Desktop Search came up, and given GDS a try, I think I'll still stick with CDS as it gives more support for files, and still better than GDS. | | | To compare the Google Desktop to WinFS is a crime against nature, and proves that you have a very limited understanding of what WinFS really is. | | | "Google's introduction of the Google Desktop has exacerbated the situation, as Google search results can now include the content of local files. |

| | Google, on Monday August 22, released a beta of a new desktop toolbar, known as Desktop Search 2. | | | Keeping in mind that I do like Google, it seems many things that the company has done in the past year are encroaching boundaries of privacy issues and intellectual property rights. | | | Sometimes I wonder why other search engines feel a need to blindly follow Google's maneuverings and adopt some form of competitive technology without looking at the intelligence of the programs. |
