Google Desktop Searching

Thought I'd point this out to everyone as Google has just released the beta version of their Google Desktop search utility. I installed it this weekend and it has indexed almost 20,000 emails and files on my workstation and is able to find email about 300 times faster than the email search in Outlook. Definetly worth a try:

Locally I have my folders all organized in such a way I don't need any professional software to organize it. Email is also organized, but my PST file is over 1GB so searching in Outlook takes forever. The Google search is lighting fast and once it does its inital indexing, everything that is added or deleted is automatically indexed on the fly.

 

It does take up 10MB of RAM though which is kind of a drag, but what can you do.
