I never realized that there was that many search engines connected to the internet. It just makes me realize what a small world I live in. Maybe it’s because I’ve been brainwashed into believing that Google & Yahoo were the only two that counted. What an awakening & thanks to my Google search that turned up your site while I was searching for add’l info on Google Desktop.

My BIG question is when will the program be available for the million others that use an older o/s like Win98 or Win ME?
Seems to me that is where the largest body of users would be as not everyone jumps at a newer o/s from MS just in order to "have the latest".

A very simple proxy which allows access to Google Desktop is available here:

Since they are public the MUST make money.
I don't tend to paranoia.
When you ain't got nothin, you got nothin to hide.

But Google Desktop would seem to imply they will keep a record of everything you ever searched Google for. A court subpoenable record of you travels on the internets, as Bush would say. Can you say Total Information Awareness?

I am sure it is just a matter of time before Google includes GDS in the Google toolbar.
We didn't want to wait so we built GDS into our firefox toolbar.

Search google, your desktop, your GMail, even add your own search engines, all from the toolbar.

Any feedback on the addition of GDS to the bar would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Pat

3 problems I can think of instantly with MS's search is its speed, doesn't index the inside of data like email and pdf and you need to tell it what type of file you are looking for. With some of these new engines, that isn't even an issue - just search.

MS know this too, that is why they bought a startup who had a good engine to do this.
