Product Info

Google Desktop makes searching your computer as easy as searching the web with Google. It’s a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, files, music, photos, chats, Google Mail, web pages that you’ve viewed and more. By making your computer searchable, Google Desktop puts your information easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organise your files, emails and bookmarks.
Google Desktop creates cached copies (snapshots) of your files and other items each time that you view them and stores these copies on your computer's hard drive. As a result, you can often use Desktop to find items that you accidentally deleted, instead of having to recreate them from scratch.
A prominent feature of Google Desktop is the Sidebar, which holds several common Gadgets and resides off to one side of the desktop and helps you keep your gadgets organised. Google Gadgets can be placed anywhere on your desktop to show you new email, weather, photos, personalised news and more.

Please contact Google Desktop publisher, Google Inc. if you have questions or issues regarding this product.
