Google Desktop goes beta

by Volker Weber

You have lots of information on your computer. But do you know where it is? Google Desktop Search can help you find web pages you've previously seen, email you've sent or received, IM chats, and files on your computer.

Tiny (400k) download. Indexes Outlook (Express), AIM, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and text files. Runs on Windows 2000 and XP only.

And the coolest thing is, that it also works from the Google search field in Mozilla, if you set the Preferences to "Show Desktop Search results on Google Web Search result pages".

Hm, kein PDF...

Copernic Desktop Search (ebenfalls kostenlos) gefällt mir da besser, da es auch sehr gut mit PDFs umgehen kann. Dass Google Desktop eine HTML-Darstellung liefert und die Web-Suche integriert, halte ich dagegen für verzichtbar.

Beagle kann jetzt schon mehr und läuft auf dem richtigen Betriebssystem :D.
