There has been a fair bit of noise about Google Desktop Search (GDS). Now I didn't really use search all that much, but my files are in a complete mess all over my hard drives. Anyway GDS came out of beta a few days ago and I decided I should try it.

I've *just* installed it and I am already very impressed!

You download a tiny ~750k file that you install onto your windows system. Once installed you get a small tray icon that gives you the status about the indexing of your files. So anyway I thought you'd search by some standard little windows app. But no! You're given the Google interface to search your hard drive! Holy crap!

Anyway the thing searches lots of stuff and you can get plugins for things it doesn't search. Here are some screen shots.

Have windows? Get this. I want a mac version now!!
