I installed this Desktop Google on my machine this morning and have been VERY impressed with this thus far. It basically takes the same technology that Google for the web uses and applies it to the data on your hard drive. It makes an index of all the contents of all the files and supports the MS Office line of products and well as AOL IM and others.
