Google is beta testing a new tool, something I found myself using several times already today...a desktop search engine...to search for stuff on your computer, not the Internet.
It does a one time indexing of all the documents, mail, etc., on your computer and then you can type in a key word to find it using Google's speedy search technology.
It works great from what I can tell and is far faster than Microsoft's search function (of course that's not saying much)...I mean it's really really faster.
And it's free.
You can download it here.
This ends today's Geek Alert you may now resume your normal geek free lives.
