MrRant Posted October 17, 2004 Report Posted October 17, 2004 http://desktop.google.com/ It's the shizzle my nizzles. Search your desktop/harddrive like Google searchs the web. Indexes your Outlook e-mail as well. Freaking great.
Jobber of the Week Posted October 17, 2004 Report 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.
MrRant Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report 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.
Jobber of the Week Posted October 17, 2004 Report 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?
mister foozel Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Sounds cool, but it seems like more crap that just fills your hard drive and that you dont need.
MrRant Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Posted October 19, 2004 This thing is insanely small dude.
Dr. Tom Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 ^ That's what she said... Sorry, couldn't resist.
bobobrazil1984 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 Geez, Google really is trying to take over the internet/computer world. Better them than microsoft.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 Any word on the IM client that may or may not be included on this thing? We'll all be buying Dells with the newest version Goggle Operating System come 2010 or so.
