So, I installed Google Desktop on my laptop tonight after work. What it does is it indexes the harddrive for all of the MS Office docs, IE files, IM conversations, .txt files and Outlook/Outlook Express files on your computer, just like Google does to the entire interweb. It indexes your harddrive while the harddrive is in idle mode. You can pause this operation if you're doing something CPU intensive, or quit the program altogether and restart it later.
I like this thang a ton. I think that Google will be able to search for other files in the very near future. They've got so many PhDs up in there that it's just oozing brainpower to do these great things.
Google!
