Google Desktop?

[hagbard]

Anyone have it? Opinions?

desktop search you mean?

I installed it, but have yet to actually use it.. Don't really see the point, I don't seem to search for stuff on my pc that much I guess. New plugins could be cool though..

better then ur built in windows search, so i'd say well worth it.

Fastest way to find an (outlook) email you have filed away somewhere. Worth installing it for the time saved when you need it.

I am on the other camp. It is a total waste of resources.

The popup blocker is not as good as the one provided by IE or Firefox.

If you use Firefox, they already have a Google search as part of their toolbar.

In fact all these toolbars are a waste of time. MSN, Yahoo etc.

I think the google search bar is great. I've been useing it since it came out.

I believe the OP was referring to Google Desktop Search, not the Google Search Toolbar.

There's a Google Desktop now? Wow.
Call me when they come out with the Google O/S.

was a serious security flaw in it.

I believe they've just released Version 1 which is secure.

Copernic is free and is highly rated

I don't like how it constantly runs in the background. I like my computer free of unnecessary processes.

The thing I like about it is the ability to search through my vast archives of email (outlook is horrible for that). Works pretty good!

I didn't realize they release it. Maybe I should take a look.
