Google desktop –
search your PC
Google Desktop doesn't just
search your PC for files, e-mails, attachments, and Outlook
contacts. It can also keep track of the Web pages you visit
and your AOL Instant Messenger conversations, so you can later
search those as well. Google Desktop can even search through
deleted files or deleted bits of files.
Google Desktop creates an index of all your PC data upon
installation and then regularly updates this index as you
continue to use your machine. Once this index is built, the
app can search your machine much the same way that Google
searches the Web. Not all the same search commands available
on Google are available on Google Desktop, but a good number
of them are. You can, say, limit your search to a particular
type of file or a particular Web site. All this, and it's free
to download. (Google.)
