Hi Friends,

Google has introduced a new tool to search your own PC. This is what it does:
# Find your email, files, web history and chats instantly
# View web pages you've seen, even when you're not online
# Search as easily as you do on Google

This is amazing. But mind it it is a priliminary beta version. According to
Google this Desktop Search is how our brains would work if we had photographic
memories. It's a desktop search application that provides full text search over
your email, computer files, chats, and the web pages you've viewed. By making
your computer searchable, Google Desktop Search puts your information easily
within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files,
emails, and bookmarks.

The Google Desktop offering takes direct aim at Microsoft Corp., which bought a
desktop search business in July, as well as current and expected desktop product
releases from other companies such as Apple Computer Inc., Ask Jeeves Inc. and
Time Warner Inc.'s AOL.

But there is a catch. For all those who are totally onto Linux, this is not for
you. I hope and wish a Linux version may soon be developed by Google. Google
Desktop Search is currently available only for Windows XP and Windows 2000
Service Pack 3 and above.

Can be downloaded from http://desktop.google.com/
