Will it see Firefox bookmarks or Thunderbird e-mails and index them, too?

I haven’t used it personally yet, but I’ve heard from those that have that Google Desktop will not run if you have antivirus software running. In today’s virus laden, adware-rich environment I’d have to say that will pretty much keep me from using it until things change.

I have NAV 2004 started, and it works like a charm.

Kind of defeats the purpose of trying to keep something hidden, if one look at the preferences tells you what folders aren’t being indexed.

Don’t know where this conflict with virus-checkers thing is coming from, but I have AVG and Google Desktop Search works fine.

I think this tool is a great first cut. I’m disappointed that the Google folks didn’t throw in firefox/thunderbird support from the start though - we are their biggest supporters. I expect to see this in the initial release 1.0 version, however. For now, this beta is miles better than the microsoft indexing service (if you’re still running this service - get rid of it! - right-click My Computer…Manage. Then Open the Services choice on the left. Look for the “Indexing Service” in the display panel, double click it…and set the properties to “Disable”—stop it while you’re there too.
