Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Google Desktop Search finds: Outlook / Outlook Express Word AOL Instant Messenger Excel Internet Explorer PowerPoint Text Wow, how very... MS-centric. It doesn't even look for Firefox's default cache folder? And no MP3 ID tag search? I think it's ownZorEd by Spotlight as far as execution goes. Maybe with time when Google searches more than just the MS suite it'll become useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 It's still Beta and was released only a few days ago if I remember correctly. Plus you don't have to buy a Mac and/or the Tiger upgrade... And Spotlight doesn't give you thumbnails of cached webpages as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2004 Plus you don't have to buy a Mac and/or the Tiger upgrade... <zealot>But why wouldn't ya? </zealot> Aside from the fact that the web browser has a memory leak so big that you could drive a cruiseliner through. And Spotlight doesn't give you thumbnails of cached webpages as well. True, but if you're using IE, isn't that what a history search is for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
