Google Adds Features and Plugin to Desktop Search 274

Posted by timothy from the those-guys-are-everywhere dept.
Matthew Bischoff writes "Today Google added new features to its popular desktop software. Google Desktop now supports alternative Netscape based browsers like Firefox, PDFs, images, video, and music files. Google also added a plug-ins feature so that developers can integrate their software into the Google Desktop catalog. Another new addition is a supported way to search from Google's deskbar software. It's probably a matter of time until we see desktop search integrated into all of the Google products including the controversial Google Toolbar 3." Google Desktop is also officially now out of beta.

    If you go to toolbar.google.com [google.com] in firefox (or Netscape, I assume), they now promote the open-source googlebar extension for Firefox. They also offer a toolbar 3.x beta for IE now.

    Also, they have setup a download page where you can grab individual download packages, or all of their packages in one zip file. www.google.com/downloads/ [google.com]

    And of course there was the slashdot article [slashdot.org], the other day describing the new Weather feature and Gmail Improvements.

      I'm hoping that they updated the caching mechanism, as IIRC it didn't remove documents that you had moved or deleted. While this is handy sometimes for retrieving accidentally lost information, it does present a bit of a problem in that sometimes you really *want* that information gone.

      That was about it, IIRC. Maybe there will be a plug-in for it so that if it is still around, there will be an add-on to allow full updates.

      It finds files by content, and much faster than does the Windows search. Without indexing on, Windows must search every file individually. With the caching on, it's somewhat faster, but still abysmally slow compared to Google's search. There were some very painful limitations until now, particularly the lack of PDF searches. I'm hoping that there will be some ability to customize the searches somewhat further to allow for searching straight text files like .c, .h, or .php.

      Google's search utility uses a variant of their own caching technology to make searches much faster. The new plug-in technology will allow someone to make add-ons for searching code.

        I used to keep most stuff on my server and have the indexing server + a lot of IFilters index it all, and it was searcheable by a webpage. Not exactly the perfect solution, but so far, none of the desktop search tools have really been much better.

      The more I've played with this, the more useful it's been. It's not been terribly useful on my home PC...but at work, it's a godsend.

      For example: I did a GDS search for the name of a server I was building last week.

      Wow. That was pretty cool.

      I also found out that while GDS doesn't index networked drives/shares, it *will* include documents on the network that you have opened in its search results. That was pretty good too.

      It's also useful on a couple of our intranet sites. Just this morning I had to find a change request for a server - using the search mechanism of our change system is difficult at best - but because I could search it in Google, it came up right away.

      Don't install a lot of stuff from Google.com and set your start page to yahoo.com. No more Google "taking over" your browsing experience.

      We won't magically rid the world of ads besides by using ad blockers, so all we can hope for are ads that aren't annoying. And Google's aren't in my opinion, so why complain? I definitely take Google text ads more than flashing DoubleClick ads with Gonzo buddies.

      Don't install the Google Toolbar. It's not required for any of their services, or in any other way. There are alternative options for whatever you're trying to do, such as installing the Firefox Googlebar extension instead. Again, why complain? Lots of companies make software I don't like for one reason or another -- I still don't make a webpage complaining about these dozens of companies. I just don't use the products I don't prefer. The issue with e.g. Microsoft is that they've worked themselves into the OEM's and employ horrible business tactics in some cases to push their products onto the market. Installing a Googlebar is entirely up to you, and should of course only be done if you like the software. Google probably implemented the "do you want to create a shortcut" thing since their research told it should be convenient for their users. It's not like they force you to google.com when you type in msn.com or anything. It's nothing evil in that sense. What's annoying to you doesn't mean the intent is an evil one, or even that it's annoying to everyone.

    Why doesn't it also search GMail? That would be a real benefit. Or does it already and i just don't see this listed anywhere?

  • Google...make way for Copernic Desktop Search (Score:3, Informative)

    Why use the Google Desktop search when the new Copernic Desktop Search v1.5 beta has so much more?

    Comparisons:
    1) Searching text files (.java, .php, .c, .h, .) is simple with Copernic Desktop Search (even v1.2) while it is a downloadable add-on in Google.
    2) Music/Video/Images are both searchable and *viewable/watchable/hearable* from within CDS while it was just added in a limited capacity in GDS.
    3) Thunderbird and Eudora both searchable in CDS and Thunderbird just added in GDS.
    4) Smart indexing of *network drives* in CDS 1.5 beta is totally awesome. It is amazing to see what you have instant access to on your corporate network in terms of internally searchable code files and business docs.
    5) CDS 1.5 beta searches iTunes, QuickTime and OGG information (artist, album, etc) while GDS is likely more limited.
    6) CDS 1.5 has targeted search (search email first, or files first, etc.) while GDS has been known to choose it's own path.
    7) The GDS killer IMHO - preview of every major filetype is within the actual CDS search...like DOC, XLS, PPT, HTM, Email, code files and also highlighting search terms in different colors showing their context.

    Prove me wrong after you download it and try it [copernic.com] (for free of course).
  • I never tried it before- figured I probably didn't need it.

    I was wrong! It's so fast. Get it, you'll never use windows search again.

  • Timothy forgot about all of the slashdot readers who don't use windows. This is Windows-only. The donwload site does tell you in very small print.
  • It is one thing to not be able to do a substring search on the file contents, but not even partial matches for the filename? Google Desktop is nowhere near as good a search tool as Yahoo Desktop. I have tried Google, Copernic and Yahoo Desktops and Yahoo has the best by far. Google is kinda nice because it runs in your browser, but it has such limited features compared with the others. I can't search using wildcards and substrings, so it is not a suitable replacement for the built in search in windows,
