Google announces Desktop Search

New app lets you 'google' your Windows PC

I am trialling the new Google Desktop Search and will let you know what I think when I've given it a spin around the block.

It's a 446 kb, free download that lets you search your own computer (something I've always wanted with my thousands of Almanac .doc and .html files and a large email correspondence).

Here's what Google offers:

Search email from Outlook 2000+ and Outlook Express 5+
Search files in TXT, HTML, DOC, XLS, and PPT formats (Office 2000+)
Search chats from AOL 7+ and AOL Instant Messenger 5+
Search web pages viewed in Internet Explorer 5+
