Google Desktop out of beta!
The exclamation in the
title isn't so much out of excitement, but surprise. It's rare that we see anything out of the Googleplex graduate from
Beta, and this is Google Desktop 3's big week. The new version
includes a new feature that lets you lock the search box when you're away from the computer and a new Quick Search Box
that can be summoned by tapping Ctrl twice. Google Desktop is still Windows-only.

Google Desktop Search has made finding files on my computer much, much easier. It is head and shoulders above any standard XP search tool (though I haven't compared it to other third-party tools). It is always on, sitting in the background, where it constantly indexes your files, but despite this the program has yet to crash or cause an error. Do be warned, however: the indexing files will eat up considerable hard-drive space. (On my hard drive the ~61k indexed files make for a 500+MB indexing file.)
