Google Desktop Search, the tool of research on hard disk published by the famous search engine Google. Indeed, you can download, free of course, the final version of the software. Google Desktop Search is a software which indexes (a little with the manner of a search engine) the documents, but also the emails, present on your computer. It then makes it possible to very quickly carry out research locally.
Google Desktop Search can also integrate results of research coming from Internet. Side innovations, Google Desktop Search 1.0 make it possible from now on to carry out research in PDF files in addition to the already supported formats (PowerPoint, Word, Excel, audio and video files, etc…). Side software of transport, Google Desktop Search takes into account the emails of Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and Netscape. For the navigators (indexing of the history and favorites), it is Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape which are dealt with. One will note finally the support of instant transport AIM of AOL.
Google also thought of the developers since Desktop Search 1.0 integrates API (Applications Programming Interfaces) which will make it possible other applications to exploit its functionalities. On the safety level, Google Desktop Search grows rich by some options which will not be useless. One will be able henceforth to refuse the indexing of the Office documents with password or the indexing of encrypted Web pages (starting with https://).

It is indeed not useless to recall that the use of Google Desktop Search can pose problems of confidentiality, in particular on the computers used by several people. In addition, Google Desktop Search could quickly become the target of virus. I announce in the passing that Google Desktop Search regularly sends information on the use of the software (time put to post a request for example) to Google, but this perhaps decontaminated option.
Google Desktop Search is integrated with Google Talk and Gmail Chat and by safety measure it is possible to protect it by a Windows password. More interesting, for those among you who have several computers, Google Desktop Search can now carry out a research on several PC simultaneously even if they are not connected to the Internet. When the function of research on several computers is activated, from the copies of documents (text, historical Web, etc) are automatically transferred on the entire PC which have Google Desktop of installed. Certain files can be transferred on the waiters from Google but those are encrypts, erased at the end of thirty days, and Google Desktop Search excludes from the transfer the files protected by password and the protected Web pages.
Moreover, Google Desktop 4.0 yields him-also to the mode of the “gadgets” or “widgets” by proposing a module which makes it possible in particular the developers to create their clean small applications in addition to those integrated out of standard (weather, clock, calendar…) being able to be integrated directly in Google Desktop 4.0. Let us recall that this functionality, which makes it possible to store an encrypted copy of the files of a machine on the waiters of Google to reach it from a distant station, was sharply criticized for its potential danger.
Google will certainly have preferred as fast as possible to launch its product considering competition on the sector, in particular of the products of Yahoo! and MSN to quote only the principal ones. Contrary to Gmail, the service of transport of Google, Google Desktop Search does not post (for the moment) of publicities.
