Nice post. I've always used Google Desktop and is very happy since it can index my mail from Lotus Notes as well.

Google Desktop DOES support wildcards. For Ex: Searching for *gmail.com returned lots of mails, docs with gmail addresses.

I could be wrong, but I think the reason your *gmail.com search works is because any time "gmail.com" would be relevant would be after an @ sign, which is inherently a word separator. Try searching for "*earchin*" to find the work "searching" and I'm pretty sure it won't work.
