Google Desktop

I grabbed a copy of it this evening just to see if it was any good. So far I am impressed. It seems to be able to find emails a lot faster than Outlook, which isn’t much of a surprise. The only thing I can’t see anyway of choosing which elements to search through:

Maybe I’m missing an option, but if I want to find an email quickly and even respond to it the integration seems excellent – except I may end up looking through a lot of other stuff first….
It does support firefox and they also provide an API/SDK for developers who want to add support for other application types. For example, there is a Trillian plugin available.
It’s been indexing my hard drives for the last couple of hours and the results so far are proving interesting. When I do a Google search it shows me local results as well as the web ones. Very tasty!
