Review

This review applies to version 5.1 The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

As its name indicates, this tool is developed by the people from Google which is quite a reference of its quality and is a desktop searching engine. But that is not all. You can enrich your Desktop experience by adding the so called Google Gadgets from the huge list available on the web site of Google Desktop Search. These Gadgets performs the most incredible and handy tasks that you can imagine and more.
The first time you install Desktop Search is pretty shocking. A really nice side bar opens on your desktop with a big analogical watch followed by a weather report that updates on the Internet, a little square gathering the breaking news, a small portrait showing you your pictures, Web clips section and finally, the Google search text box. This side bar is inspired on the distinctive Windows Vista’s side bar, but there are lots of people who trust Google over Microsoft…
Regarding to the basic action, searching, this tool will allow you to search within your computer exactly the same as you were searching information on Internet, a process with which you are familiarized nowadays. You can search information within e-mails, docs, and any other information unit you use. The process is fast thanks to its two phases searching process. How does it work?
First, Google Desktop Search creates index files to know exactly what pieces of information are within each file or information unit. Then, when you perform your actual search, Google Desktop doesn’t have to look up in the files themselves but in the index files, which is a much faster process. Since you don’t do nothing during the indexing process – maybe you won’t even notice it – the net result of this two phases searching method is saved time for you.
This cool application is available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux users, and it’s for free!
