Google Desktop Search beta 2 cOOl and seXy
August 26th, 2005 by Vamsi
I thought it was the same old story of desktop search beta 1.
I felt horrible with the first version. It was taking more resource than any other application. If just an indexing application takes so much CPU resource, what about the other applications that we never close for days together? And it was taking some 500MB of space. Just to index? sounds like my system search is also like a google data center. Irritated, I un-installed and deleted all the index.
Now google is back with another new beta version.
I’m adicted to it more than any other application on my desktop.
I have been playing with the new Google Desktop for the past 2 days now and I really like it. It gives me access to something that I use often and keeps them right were I can keep an eye on them.
I have a collection of desktop tools that can make things easy. You know what I mean? easy in every sense.
It has all I want. A simple gmail notifier/indexer, news, search includes desktop(my computer) search, photos to rotate, to keep memories refreshing(you can select the photos folder).
Cool plugins like scratch pad(where you can write anything and it will be saved without your confirmation); Todo(you can save your to do tasks) and Adsense status(this is wonderful addon which displays adsense earnings).
Sticking to the left or right end of the screen, it gives you a wonderful experience.
You can see some screenshots here:
1. Sidepanel View
2. Todo plugin
3. Adsense plugin
4. Timewrap Plugin
