Google Desktop lets you search your own Mac. (This has been available for PC for a while, but was just released for Mac.) You can search files, documents, music, email, chat transcripts, and Address Book contacts all from a single window. Sounds familiar? It is indeed a competitor to Spotlight. One cool feature is that it puts search results from your computer in the Google interface. So if you do a Google search in Camino, you can search Web, Images, Video, etc. OR Desktop — your own Mac.
Google Desktop installs a lot of files to achieve this functionality, and reviews haven’t been glowing, but the uninstaller successfully removes them all if you choose you don’t like it. It’s certain to get better over time and with user feedback.
